I had a paper-round when I was a kid, from the one on Colman Road at the junction with

the Avenues. Was it called "Rhind's"? I think it may have been.

Anyway, to get your ?5pw stipend you had to climb the long outdoor staircase up to the flat above the shop, to meet the owner, where he would pay you in cash. He was a really intimidating bloke, and now I look back at it with the wisdom of the intervening years, a bit pervy too. The effect was I became quite nervous when I went up to get my ?5.

I was literally shaking with wage.
