yeah, I done the 'phone book thingie..... only our round was inner-city Birmingham (the LadyWood estate, to be specific...) where you need two to watch the car and an armed guard to deliver the phone books....

But I thiink my worst job was cleaning the 'swarf' off the machines in a metal-cutting factory in the Black Country.... my hands were red-raw and lacerated to the bone for a measly £50 a week (that was in the early 70's)
