My local newsagents can't get enough people to fill their rounds, and they are paying £25 a week!, he says his happy to pay that as long as they are reliable.

I have to say the deliveries are a lot more reliable.
Shame in a way, I did 'rite of passage' as a paper boy, as did master Gaz - I wonder whether him owning his own home (or at least paying a mortgage) & having a decent full time job at age 24 is now anything to do with that ???

Doing any sort of job at that age can only be beneficial, it certainly gives you a respect for the money youve earned, instead of just putting out your hand and waiting for the bank of mum and dad. Both my two had jobs when they younger, and I'm sure it was this that helped put them on the right road in life. It certainly sounds as if master Gaz is doing well homealone, 24, a good job and his own home, you must be very proud of him.
