****ing hell, is there more to that story?
I did one too, 6 days a week, sometimes did the Sunday ones too (weekends were always a mammoth operation because of the supplements). I had a round that covered 2 areas, so around 8 different streets/lanes mixed as council and posh stuff. I even delivered to the page3 photographer Beverley what's his face - i don’t know why, but i always expected (wished) to see the photo shoots - because of course that's where a photographer would do it!!
Money was woefully bad, but Christmas was cool, could make a few hundred quid sometimes. There were the odd people that got the hump, when they decided to have the equivalent of war and peace delivered in the shitty rain through a letterbox no bigger than a mouse hole that also acted like a mouse trap...
And the pathetic ****s who'd get the hump about me walking across the lawn between them and the next-door neighbour, instead of going back on to the street and down the neighbour's drive.
Mid 70's evening round...furthest from shop...Carlton Corsa...hated think thursdays had Radio and TV times to carry and remember..often I'd do my older sister's round as well on way home nice and compact...covered a few Sundays for mates...horrible really heavy...still have a grudge that the guy who owned the shop charged me full price for light batteries...never ran them on the round but needed on main road to shop and home and to get to scouts etc
despite some of the horrors that we've all experienced, like the weight, dark, rain, hail, early morning weirdos, asshole shop owners that were tighter than sailing knot - i still enjoyed it, someone mentioned earlier - stick on some headphones and plod away..
