0 in the past, a man or boy who sold fruit and vegetables, etc. from a barrow

East talks about the victims among the self-employed and says that we are not dealing with barrow boys he must know that he is talking the utmost rubbish.
But the barrow boy or the stall-holder who has a few bunches of flowers outside the cemetery gates can compete with the legitimate shopkeeper.
It is that every barrow boy should be required to keep proper books of account.
The barrow boy will say that the "½" was written in clear letters.
Furthermore, it is possible that that is more likely than that the shopkeeper would turn barrow boy.
He started selling things, became a barrow boy, went into business, and eventually became a millionaire.
A lesson might be learnt from that humble member of the trading community, the barrow boy.
