Street cries of paper boys

Sir, – Frank McNally refers to the cries of the newspaper boys he heard when he first came to Dublin ("The lost art of paper pushing", An Irishman's Diary, September 4th).

The cries I remember from my youth, half a generation earlier, sounded something like “Heggle-o-May-ill, late foinal Mayl-o-Heggle”. – Yours, etc,
