Hi Dave, I remember Greens, Who is the person in white using knife, is it a woman, just thought, ive never seen many women butchers,

To Eric K, I can remember that stall,I worked in market many many years, I dont think thats a woman, i am almost positive Greens did not have any proper woman butchers, there was a really good woman butcher on Berrys butchers, daughter of owner,

That looks like an accident waiting to happen working in such an untidy place, also that is a woman who looks like she has not got a clue about butchering,

Try Yates Greer from Leigh. They are the nearest that I have tasted. They also sell them in ASDA if you look for them

The woman is David Devines daughter, anyone who knew David must recognise his daughter as she looks just like him, like the other comment she does not look safe with that knife.

Women on Greens never boned meat out , must have been a posed picture .
