"Costermonger." That is a good word. It was a seller of fruits and vegetables in Britain, especially London (but you probably already knew that).
"Curmudgeon." That is another good word. It is a bad-tempered or surly person.
I wonder if any costermongers were curmudgeons. Just think what fun you could have had with that after an unpleasant transaction. "Why, you curmudgeonly costermonger!"

Ha Ha. If I know you, you will find some way to use that in a conversation somewhere.
