Windy says hard to believe about 45 years ago I'd be oot standing on the corner of Sydney Crescent waiting for Bayne's lorry coming round to pick up awe the tattie howkers
Absolutely back breaking work but the best days oh ma life . . . starting wae a half bit, then getting a full bit
Frozen fingers first thing. Rotten tatties. Back broken. Jam pieces and a bottle oh juice . . . and if you couldnae be fuked, a big stone in the digger so you got a wee rest . . . and if you were lucky, you'd maybe get a shift on the baskets
Mon then. Get involved. Let's hear yer stories (any old photos would be amazing as well)
Mon the TATTIE HOLIDAYS !!
PS - Ah wonder how many young ones these days think you get yer tatties from a supermarket
