            Only funny because most people don't seem to like tripe!

            I too come from a line of butchers, back to 1803 and maybe beyond that, I don't know!!

                      lolol!!

                      I always wonder what these peoples homes must have smelled like??

                      I suppose people with ordinary jobs still have "personal odour" to contend with :D, but tripe dressers, butchers, anything to do with fish, leather curers etc etc etc....yuk!! lol
