The best part of the paperboys/girls life was Christmas time, the newsagent used to give all the paperboys/girls a pile of Christmas cards, then instead of just delivering the paper, we knocked on the door, gave them the card and wished them a merry Christmas then stood there smiling like an idiot. I never forget, one year I got nearly £9 in tips, add to that my wages, and for the first time in my life I had a £10 note, happy days.
