I see where you're coming from but still incorrect.

Well a Drapers shop was where you bought the material to make clothing so is it a seller of cloth rather than finished clothes?

Is a costermonger a market stall holder as opposed to a shopkeeper?

Right lines, just need to be more specific.

I thought MH would have got all of these as they were the occupations available when he first started job searching.

Fuck off Dandy! Is it too obvious to guess at Hostler being an innkeeper or owner of a boarding house?

A chandler is a candle maker, isn't it?
