Ernie wasn't a rag and bone man dottymapley it was another man called sumner I THINK!! I remember him ( the rag bone man ) with blonde hair and scruffy coat riding a horse and cart , back to Ernie , he was a true gentleman who ran a loan business I think. He lived with his son, but can't remember the son's name. I remember him coming to my parents' house collecting weekly, there were no plastic cards in those days, must have been hard times.
