Bretski-Ramsbottom [Ramsden in the bottom of the valley] had a Rediffusion Shop and cable TV from the 50's to overcome the lack of signal penetration from Winter Hill at Bolton. So did Bexhill, I was surprised to find when I began to visit in 1998 and found a Redifussion street plate . It was distributed from Hastings.

When I read this posting a while back, I thought to myself " A Tripe Shop!"
Is that the nasty looking stuff I'm thinking about. When I saw it in the butcher's meat case, it sure doesn't appeal to me! It looks like foam rubber.
The Mexican people make a Stew out of it, called Menudo. It looks like it's heavily laced with spices and tomatoes with those little white chunks floating in it.
