    yeh, do you remember the paperboy alley cats, they were ace, after school on a friday, everyone would get off their faces on pop and then race round the neighborhood and after you'd usually end up back at someone's house and their mum would make tea and give you biscuits and everyone would stay up till like 10 o'clock.
    But then you started getting all those paperengers taking part and it wasn't the same. One of the winners I remember said she was a paper girl but noone in the local newsagents knew who she was or anything.
    Did you go to the Worlds in 78? First time I saw a paper boy throwing the papers at the houses, it was like American or something and we all thought it was so cool.

    " did you have a paper round?"

    Click on my name and guess.

    Iron Eye things are just the opposite for me now get up at 5.30 but don't ride round all day anymore...

    but I do get paid to climb trees instead so not so different to when I was 13 after all :tongue:

    It was the Anchorage Times, delivered in the afternoons except some genius had the bright idea that the Sunday paper should be delivered in the mornings. A few -25 (F) days at 5 in the morning and somehow the novelty wore off.

    I'm from an area too rural to have a paper route, but I do distincly remember riding around on my bike pretending to talk into my radio to communicate with the other "tanks" (I was a bit aircraft and tank obsessed as a kid....oh wait...).

    I sorta feel like the 8 year old me must be very pround of the late 20's me.

    I worked as a postie in Glasgow before I started couriering. I guess delivering stuff is a recurring theme in my life.
