Anybody remember the chap in Oswald Street, Church, who had a mynah bird? He kept the junk shop on the corner of Tanpits, and lived across the street. In Summer he used to leave his front door open then he could see if anybody called into the shop. Unfortunately, if a girl walked past, there would be a yell of "Cor - look at that" and other less choice phrases. His reputation went right down, and in self-defence he took to hanging the mynah outside the front door - yep, it was the bird!
