Tenth Egg Street
From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki
A street of small traders, who sell small things in small quantities for small sums on small margins. In a street like this, a business survives by being small-minded: it has to look at the details. The proprietors are men who see more farthings than they do dollars, and indeed are no strangers to half-farthings and even the occasional elim. This is not a place for the big idea - it is a place where people take a very close look at the details. Moist von Lipwig chose it as the ideal place to launch the dollar note - reasoning that if paper currency took off here, it would be acceptable anywhere.
Notable businesses:
- the Boffo Novelty and Joke Shop, proprietor mr J. Proust, at number four.
- Poleforth's Newsagents and Tobacconist, next door, proprietor Mr "Natty" Poleforth.
- Drayman's Butchers, just over the road, prop. Mr Drayman.
Apparently also the home of the Tenth Egg Street Gang.
