Quite correct. My cousin’s middle name isn’t ‘the’.

Re: Keith the Fish

Do you remember when there were so many sailing-boats down Tiger Bay you could literally walk from one boat t'other?

You're getting confused with The Battle Of Salamis

Re: Keith the Fish

When I was a boy there was a guy who had a huge granite slab just inside the market door, directly opposite Ashtons.
He used to tip a dustbin of cockles on there and sell them for 3d a saucer. I loved going there with my dad and having some, feeling really grown up standing amongst all the men.
You could buy them to take home in measures of a pint or a half pint

I have a recollection of the heady fragrance of fish, pipe tobacco and woodbines. I used to love going to the market with my dad too.

Re: Keith the Fish

Lived in Cardiff all my life. Never seen him before.

Used to get my cockles firstly from the van that came round on a Saturday when I was a kid, and then after that either from the fella that would bring a basket of seafood into the pub or from Ashton's in the market.

My son knows of the van as he used to walk past it on his way to work but it has no recollection to me.

His van was parked between the back of M&S and the side of the big church/cathedral in Charles Street

Steve Grapes?

I see what you did there! No, not him because I do know that the guy made 1 appearance and I think he came on as a sub but for the life of me I can’t remember his name. If I do, I will post it.

One of those stalls that I feel like I never passed when it was open.
