The Weigh Bridge Market Men By Paul McCann The weigh bridge market men were a rare breed indeed . A penny in their hand was the price of a feed . For whatever it was worth it was cheap as hell . Hot mutton pies and Chelsea buns were free to smell . Castle lane Tucker sold potatoes from a sack . Fagan sold bacon that he’d scraped off the pigs back. Balinderry onions were a penny a pound . Also a penny for your thoughts running around . Cows were driven in by farmers on cobblestones . Slaughtered on the spot for stew or slicked up soup bones . Your man with the hand pulled cart sold some greens and fruit, If he wasn’t busy he’d mend your hob nail boot . Sammy would pour you pints of buttermilk from cans . Jimmy the gypsy would tinker with pots and pans. Alex could cure colic with an old remedy .
