The fact that it must take some guts
To stand in the street
And ask folk to eat
Their fill of your steaming hot nuts
The roast chicken route was just too obvious for this prompt. I did a sketch a couple of months back based on a photo of a chestnuts seller from about a century ago, and I did say then that you could still see chestnut sellers with their braziers in the centre of London when I was a young boy in the late 60s. Unless memory fails me, I think that the last time I saw one would possibly have been New Year's Eve 1981.
