It must be at least 25 years since I last heard the sound, but it still rings clearly in my ears. The sound of the Evening Post sellers around Swansea, bellowing the trademark call. Sounded like a mix of a human voice and a foghorn. EVENIN' POSSST !!
I remember it most from being out shopping at Christmas time with my Mum and Dad. The Quadrant was brand new, snow was falling everywhere, the Christmas lights were simply awesome to a child, and the cries of the Evening Post sellers used to quite literally scare the pants off me !! Good to see they lock them up in little boxes now !! :)
