Here’s the bloke who delivers my coal. Just had a tonne of it dropped off a couple of weeks ago, hopefully enough to see me through the Winter.

Never see any Lemonade delivery men and their delivery trucks now, Hays, Sangs etc. no crates ever tied on the back of their trucks, just placed at set angle from edge of trailer lip and built up, used to think drivers where really good specially as roads where potholed badly round my street. Other ones I miss seeing are the Hurdy Gurdy Men, cranking their old trusted wheel barrow organ, that played well known tunes.

I use Excel smokeless briquettes and I think I paid £404 for a tonne. You can get cheaper coals but Excel seems to stay in a lot longer.

I thought dragon slayers were no longer needed until I met the first mother in law, obviously I could not find one when I needed to.

There´s still chandlers, they´re just called something hi-tecchy nowadays. Like, Shipping Logistics, or Maritime Technologies.
No they’re not, still called ‘‘ship chandlers’’ …

Loads of chimney sweeps round here, and they make a killing. Cheapest one is £55 a call out, takes him all of 10 minutes and on to the next.
Still have the old boys delivering coal in sacks on thier backs too, and a petrol station not far away still has attended service. He gets quite shouty when someone pulls up and starts filling themselves.
Another daft question, as someone used to walk the streets to light street lamps, did someone also walk the streets to put the lights out?

I think that job market was cornered by the ‘Border Collie’ and they can probably run faster than you as well
