REGARDING the recollections about donkey stones by Mrs C. Knowles (Letters, February 22), I have known her for more than 60 years and at the time she speaks of I had a corner shop in Haslingden Road, Blackburn.
During that time I sold hundreds of them -- white, cream and yellow. The cream ones were the most popular and cost two old pence.
The customers were not very happy if I sold out of a certain colour and would pester me until I got another delivery. You were considered lazy then if you did not stone your front doorstep.
I'm glad Ada Gibson (LET, February 12), managed to get some sent to her.
