Totally Misread This One

[That Jekka Gal]

I assumed that it was a convenience store when I read the context of the OP, but a tout in Northern Ireland during the Troubles was an informer.
Bit of a stretch by the OP to think that we should maybe know of Tout’s locations, maybe if it had been a Tesco, we’d have known what he was talking about.

SHE!!

Please accept my profuse and sincere apologies, a rookie mistake, I didn’t check the name of the OP.
Stands in the corner and hangs head in shame

Maybe doesn’t help having random male avatars assigned to one’s account. Why can’t we choose our own like other forums?

Pretty sure its a chap who gets stitches.... for talking when he shouldn't have!

Nah, that's a snitch - hence the old adage, that you alluded to, of snitches getting stitches and ending up in ditches. A tout is basically a spiv.

random male avatars

What's random about them?

Did you just assume their genders?

Is a tout not a purveyor of rare tickets at exoorrrrbitant prices?

is it me, or is this forum on a major go slow?

Performance wise or a retardation of the user base?

A tout in Norn Iron got shot in both knees. There were no tickets for that show.

They’re most likely a male returnee anyway, so I wouldn’t worry

A spiv I thought, was someone who could get you black market stuff during WW2, maybe they were also called touts, but if they were, I was unaware of that.

They can be that too, ticket touts, scalpers in the U.S.

technically with right connections one could get to see the show, with or without tickets

My Grandad Poole was a Spiv during WWII.
We only found out a few years ago he'd been to prison before WWII and prison after WWII, I thought he was a war hero who flew planes but he had been sent to a small RAF base in North Wales as a punishment and to be a 'gofor'.
He'd also got 6 kids by 5 women.
