Greengrocers In Vivian Ave

A Memory of Hendon.

My Saturday and school holiday job was working for the greengrocers, can't remember their name, next to ABC bread shop. Really nice people and gave me a life long understanding of quality fruit & veg. My bike was a new greengrocers gas pipe special with a flat frame on the front for orange boxes full of fruit & veg. Was young an fit then and used to ride very fast down the side streets of Hendon delivering to mostly Jewish customers. All fruit and veg was collected that morning from the old covent garden market, central London, now a tourist spot. We lived in West Hendon near old Staples corner, it was a wonderful time to be young and living in NW London.
