I didn't know he had a shop either, I remember the horn sound . Robinson's had , still has, a bell . And when I was a student in London I got really sad during one winter- I lived down a really rough street in one of the worst ghetto areas and the paraffin seller who came round twice a week in winter had exactly the same bell to announce his arrival to the poor inhabitants. I was like Pavlov's dogs- the immediate instinct, learned over many years, was one of anticipation and delight,then came disappointment, all in a split second!
