Among the fisher folk of Blanken-
berghe and other ports the number of
80 is banned. When bringing down
the price of their wares in order to
tempt purchasers, they always pass
from 81 to 30 sous, and in the same
way they refuse to give 80 sous for
any purchase, preferring to pay an
extra sou, if they cannot succeed in
abating the price asked.
