    "Night games at oakwell and the smell of beer and bovril mixed with smoke from cigars, pipes and cigarette"

    Sadly missed, one of the most evocative mixes of smells ever!

    Yes!!! I work in Donny and was telling someone, just last week, about Pie n Pea Man. He insisted I must've made it up, though I poss did make him sound like some kind of food based superhero.
    Also, Brian Colley, the mobile green grocer. The original concept of Tesco Home Delivery. Mind, bet he was nailing all the bored housewives of the early 80s. Genius. Anyone flogging a van?

    I often wondered the same because I remember it being quite common in the 70's. Apparently it is due to changes in a dog's diet and the different ingredients in dog food and biscuits.
