scargill Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You obviously don't get out much: there have been roast chestnut carts at either end of Fargate in December for the last six years. but was it a roasted chestnut seller, or a person selling roast chestnuts?

lordhereford Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I bought some from the bloke on Fargate. They were so hot I had to walk around town for about half an hour before I could eat the beggars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
