One who sells wares or provisions in the street; a peddler or hawker. Dunno why they didnt just say Hawker then,if Huckster means Hawker Anna :-)

	Oh Anna, thank you very much - when I saw Hawk I thought of Hawker straight away but the Huckster bit through me so presumed I was wrong. Many thanks again, Em
