I Have read with such interest memories of the Onion Johnnies ,My family made a few moves between Bitterne and St marys where I went to Central School,[as Ida wilson] and can Lways remember them also the little Italian man who rode a three wheeler bike selling Icacream ,sadley he was interred when war began. also the man who sharpened the Knives and Mums scissors, then my Mother never failed to cross the palms of Gypsies with silver sixpence when they came selling pegs etc. These visitors made life so interesting and many happy memories ,Ida c Gurman [email protected]
