Telegram boys either on bicycles or BSA Bantams. For balance we do have scrap men with Transit lorries and van drivers who happen to have surplus mattresses for sale at discounted prices.

Someone come out with a story on a work call about a bargain mattress they had bought from a guy in the street and absolutely wouldn't have it that it was a scam even when I sent a link to websites detailing the scam.

I am doing some work for avon at the moment. They are reps and sales leads not Avon ladies.

My Mrs has someone who comes to the door with an Avon catalogue and she calls herself an Avon lady.

We get milk delivered twice a week, its expensive by I haven't the heart to tell the milkman to stop it!

I used to deliver milk in Marske by horse and cart in the mid sixties. Fitzhughs dairies, right next to the blacksmiths mentioned earlier on. The horse had reins but he didn't needs them. He would walk round the route and stop at the same points every day.
It was "fun" getting up at 5.00 am and then going to school afterwards, all for £1 10s .
