this might not sound PC but it is culturally appropriate for the area. In Asian communities, especially in a large family group, the oldest ladies take it upon themselves to organise all food shopping. even if they have grown up daughters who are perfectly capable of it (and men today also do help with cooking), they will insist on taking charge of the entire operation.
Old granny ladies generally do not like having to go upon the light railway or metropolitan railway of any nation, as it is noisy and crowded. so they prefer to walk the streets with them shopping trolleys which are sold the world over (I think the chinese adopted the British design and their womenfolk liked them).
So it is these ladies our Punjabi friend is trying to attract. I asked my mum about this, and after she first said “he should speak proper English here if he wants to sell those fish!” (her laptop sound is a bit flaky and she was an English teacher), she also said implied that he could sing as sweetly as he wanted but she’d still want to check those fish were decent quality, but accepted that £1 for a fish of that size wasn’t a bad deal. Two way smaller ones are 88p here and the North Sea is closer!
