Coal men
Rag and Bone men

I actually clocked a coal van this morning- it being worthy of note as I was thinking "you don't see many of them these days" & presumably the people driving it were men

Cars with mudflaps. Why is that?

Used to be (still is?) compulsory in Sweden hence Saab and Volvo had them fitted as standard. I presume it was to prevent the car behind from being sprayed with Elk blood if one ran out in the road.

I've not seen a coal man for a long long time but R&B men are still around. Don't see them much now we live in a middle-class area but the other week there was one sniffing around our street, pulling things out of a skip in front of a house.
