Does anyone remember the chap who used to drive around in his Land Rover selling tripe and cow heels door to door ? Would have been in mid to late 1970s and always on Thursday and Friday nights. May have been other nights as well but certainly Friday night in Arbourthorne, Manor, Manor Park, Wybourn, Norfolk Park, Richmond and Woodhouse areas.

Did this guy have a green Landrover with a canvas back on it rather than a hardtop... and what looked like dustbins in the back?

Was the pigs face called pigs chaps ?

I limit my offal intake to liver, kidney and the various coloured puddings.
I do recall older family members devouring tripe, bag, chitlins (sp), trotters and braw made from a pigs head and on one memorable occasion sweetbreads

I remember the tripe man coming round on the Manor Estate on friday evenings with the horse and dray before he got motorised ,tripe and onions was a favourite meal for us in those days.The tripe man was named Reuben Short and they had a shop just up Scotland St.I got my first pair of clogs from a shop almost next door in 1940,half a crown 2/6p and remember my boss telling me that when you get used to them you will want to wear them for sunday,s how true that was but they sure took some getting used to
