"Dudes Carry The News...so who like me when younger was a paperboy/girl..."
Me, started with every weekday evening paid for local news (collected money in a Fri) at 11 (it was my older sisters round as you were supposed to be 13). Ditched that as too big a commitment for a weekly free paper - sat in the hallway each week adding leaflets to 300 papers is my most vivid memory - hated the Wickes catalogue as it was heavy and made the stack distorted in the bag. After a couple of years I got to top of the waiting list for the local shop doing a 7 days a week morning round that I kept until I left school.

I used to have to get up 10 minutes before I woke up and dig 10 tons of coal out of the mine, ma Mam would hit me behind the ear with next door neighbour's sweaty sock at dinner time, I'm not even gonna tell you about the Afternoon  |

"I didnt have one but my son had three. I told him on his 13th birthday id still give him basic pocket money (£5) but he had to earn an more money.
By the end of the week he had three paper rounds  "
So your Son delivered The Sun and looked in The Mirror when he got home, and you were his Guardian angel when he got back home  |
