Keith 'Jumbo' Martin - still selling nuts

​Since the early 70s, Keith 'Jumbo' Martin has been a fixture at cricket matches selling nuts. He earned himself a reputation in the Queen's Park Oval for his accuracy in throwing packs of nuts to customers seated some distance away in the bleachers. Twenty years or so before Jumbo came on the scene, there was another well known nuts man nicknamed 'mile a minute'. This nuts vendor was a short, slim Chinese gentleman who used to walk around the Queen's Park Savannah at a brisk pace selling his peanuts.
Nuts have become a popular street food along the busy highways of our nation. The nut vendors are mostly found by the traffic lights on these highways hustling sales when the traffic is at a standstill. In case you are wondering, a pack of nuts (salted or fresh) cost $5, same price as a doubles.
Fun fact: ever see a nuts man shaking the pack of nuts? That's to tell if they are salted or fresh as the ones with salt make a noise when the grains move about in the bag. Source: Virtual Museum of TT , Feb 17,  2021
