The stall (trailer) was by the church just around the back of M&S off Charles Street and has been there since at least 2011 (used to lock my bike up when I could ride and walk by up until a few years ago) but yes, it's unlikely he'd have always been there and judging by his age could have had a long connection with the market so may well have been a young man when selling cockles back in the day to Michael and Xsnaggle.

I wish I'd spent more time chatting to him now.

I did chat to a fruit & veg guy on Queen Steet opposite Pret who thought he had an Uncle who played for Cardiff City but he couldn't remember his name - so not a classic anecdote
