There were lots of jobs you could do when you were a kid that got you ciggy money. I used to do the round with the milkman - horse and cart.... we would run alongside the cart and grab the deliveries and the milkman would control the horse with whistles. I was a delivery boy for a chemist and I also did a paper round for years. We used to sling a hessian sack on either side of the top tube. I reckon that built my sprint muscles, especially on a Saturday with the Age classifieds. Our fastest delivery boy was Martin Vinnicombe.
But now, the nanny state doesn't allow that kind of child exploitation (which we loved).
**** the nanny state.
