They don’t make ‘em like this any more!
The old fashioned butcher’s apron looked the same as the awning on this butcher’s shop in Warwick, Queensland except that, if I remember rightly, the stripes were horizontal. Anyway, it’s a nice way to remember “the old days”.
With big supermarkets serving up plastic wrapped meat, you just don’t see butcher’s shops like this any more, especially in big cities. We can hardly seem to afford the time to go to the supermarket these days, let alone down to the butchers where we have to spend time stipulating the type and quantity of each cut of meat and then, gee, we might have to go home and open up the white paper parcel and lay out the meat ready to freeze or whatever.
How times are changing.
And remember, expectorating is not permitted in butcher’s shops, Queenslanders!
