This Kerosene seller has been coming to our street for more than 36 years . Selling Kerosene, sometimes spelled kerosine also known as paraffin commonly used as a heating fuel. Nowadays he also sells household detergents such as bleach and toilet paper. He comes nearly twice a week and with a hoot and a signature shout calling ‘Pitrolju’ you’ll know he has arrived.

Unfortunately another dying tradition!!! It always reminds me of my childhood as I was fascinated by all the items hanging from the truck...brooms, candles, dusters, etc!
Hello Dina,
I like your comments a lot and above all such things you would never come to know as a stranger like the pitrolju.
So I regret a lot that your other blog dinaplanet is private now and I cannot visit it any longer.
I am a big fan of Malta!
Greetings,
Georgia
Dear Georgia, the other site is only temporarly closed as I am redoing it. So keep checking it will soon be open again. Where are you from?
Hello Dina,
that are good news, thank you. I am curious to see the new design.
By the way, I am from Germany (near Cologne) and I lived two years in Trier where you spent your holidays.
We have been to Malta 7 times so far and it is always worth a journey.
Greetings,
Georgia
