Re: [Cz-L] Mehlplatz

Cornel , what you saw was an occasional one time street bazaar,
  Mimi speaks of a permanent Schmatte market including kerosene,
herrings and hamsi.
   We sang:
"Oy wey a Ganev ,er hot ins doch baganvet,
  Siben Hemden wi di Becher,( meaning in best condition)
   Drei mit Lattes ,vier mit Lecher.
