[quinie]

Brought back memories of the "ingin johnnies" who used to come round the doors- they were beret-wearing Frenchmen and had strings of ingins slung over the handlebars. That was pre 1939

[margaretrae]

Not only before 1939 I remember them in Scotland and I wasn't born until 1942.

There's an old line about somebody from Dundee (?) asking for two different types of bridie in a baker shop: I'll have a plain ane and an ingin ane an' a'. Might even be from a song. :)

[quinie]

I meant I remember them then . I think they probably stopped coming during the war . I wonder when they stopped coming- have to do some research

[slinky.kate]

We had a Breton who came every year to Scotland until the seventies
