Come on in, the water's fine!

I'm Jess, known as jessicadazzler. I'm not new to eBay, but I just wanted to say hi.

*big wave* Hi!

If you like, you can say hi too below and introduce yourself, as I don't know any of you on these community boards. Come on in, the water's fine! 😉

You adapt pretty quickly.  When you're a kid and you walk into a shop or corner store deli and ask for a three cent lolly and they give you a freddo frog instead of an ice cream then you learn the lingo.

 

I suppose the term deli came from migrants (just guessing).  At the time I came there was also a large Italian immigration and some would set up shops selling small goods and continental items.  Now a deli is just a small convenience store. (I think I'm talking Americanese).

 

 


No. Deli is an abbreviation of Delicatessen. Which roughly translated means "refined eating".

As against bangers and mash, I suppose.

When I started school, went to a shop - asked in my fresh Norfolk accent for an 'iced lolly' - lady said :"they're all nice love - which do you want?"

When I was a kid, the local Delicatessen was run by a lovely couple.

 

Mum wouldn't tell me why they had numbers tattooed on their arms

 

Don't think they sold sauerkraut either

Jess. This place confuses the heck out of me.

I never pretend to understand it. I just go along for the ride and the laughs.
