.............. we would knock on doors and run away as a prank.

Now 40 years later I am doing the same, but getting paid for it.

we used to take it to another level. called a ''pyro-pastie'...wrap some dogshit in the 'evening chronicle' (local newspaper). put it on someones doorstep and set fire to it, knock on the door and run away. then watch as the occupant opened their front door and instinctively stamped out the burning newspaper!!....kids eh? :

In my early teens before I had my 'paper run', I used to have a 'crisp run'. That's right, I would go round doors trying to tantalise potential customers with the latest Highlander Crisps.

"No! We only eat Golden Wonder in this house", was a memorable encounter.

And look at me now! I'm delivering 'essential' batches of crisps by the box for those in need. Who'd have thought that early training would one day be put to such vital use..

I remember when I was a boy my Dad said "You know in the future they'll have TVs that you can hang on the wall like a picture". My brother and I just sat there with open mouths, wondering...

The smell of Mum's Bristows hairspray and Dad's Old Holborn tobacco before we went out. It was a fight to see which one would choke you more...
