The one on Toddington north ? he was there for years never bought anything of him, probably a scam to make you think you were getting something cheap.
Dont remember the perfume man. One lunchtime I was parked at Birch Services when a bloke tapped on my window and told me his company had 5ooo Lps to give away all he wanted was a small donation,he showed me some and I picked a couple of them and gave him a small donation.Being a Yorkshire man it was a little donation!! Oh I want more than that [30 pence ] he said.Asked him if he enjoyed hospital food and he took the hint and walked off. Stowed the said Lps and gave them to the wife for her birthday!! Q How do you define a Yorkshire man? Like a Scotsman but with the generosity removed.
Yes remember him never wasted my money though, jewellery and leather jackets were other scams on the services.
