Always a Milkman when I was a kid never saw a woman. They used to sell orange juice in milk bottles as well. In those days the amount of people that knocked on your door in a week was scary and included;

Milk man
Rent man
Gas man
Leccy man
Bread man
Insurance man
Rag and bone man
Lemonade man
Tally man (loans)
Football pools man

Today its Amazon and anyone else is looked at with suspicion.

Back in the day when these were everyday, most of those jobs would pay enough to support a wife & family, car, holidays and maybe buy a house.

Nowadays you'd need a wage top up with Universal Credit if you took one of those jobs.

There was no internet then which you are actually on, you can’t have it both ways, people complain on internet about shopping centres being finished. Irony

Thats ok I would too. You had far less to worry about up until about the late 90's.

Window cleaners and grass cutting still a thing, an auld pal of mine says “the foreign lads shouldn’t be getting a euro off the government but if they came round and here and offered to do a job, I’d pay them cash to feed themselves, there is work out there but it’s lazy people I don’t like whether they are foreign or not”
A wise old man in many ways.
