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. |

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. |
