  • Los Johnnies (así llamados en francés; conocidos en inglés como Onion Johnnies; en galés, Sioni Winwns; en bretón ar Johniged) fueron agricultores bretones que durante los siglos XIX y XX viajaban en bicicleta por toda Gran Bretaña (especialmente Gales) vendiendo puerta a puerta las cebollas rosadas de Roscoff que ellos mismos traían desde sus campos al otro lado del Canal, en Bretaña, Francia. Los Johnnies fueron durante esta época muy comunes y se volvieron icónicos allá donde iban. Luego, desaparecieron rápidamente a partir de los años 50. No obstante, desde finales de los años 90 se ha ido recuperando la práctica gracias a los agricultores y los compradores a pequeña escala. Tradicionalmente vestidos con boina y marinière (camisa a rayas) y montando una bicicleta adornada con cebollas, los johnnies se convirtieron en una imagen estereotipada del comerciante francés, ya que en muchos casos fueron el único contacto que los británicos de a pie tenían con Francia y los franceses.

  • Onion Johnnies (Welsh: Sioni Winwns) were Breton farmers and agricultural labourers who travelled on bicycles selling distinctive pink onions door to door in Great Britain, and especially in Wales. They have adapted this nickname for themselves in Breton as ar Johniged or ar Johnniged. Declining since the 1950s to only a few, the Onion Johnny was once very common. With renewed interest since the late 1990s by farmers and the public in small-scale agriculture, their numbers have recently made a small recovery. Dressed in striped Breton shirt and beret, riding a bicycle hung with onions, the Onion Johnny became the stereotypical image of the Frenchman in the United Kingdom and was possibly in many cases the only contact that ordinary British people had with France and French people.
