Must have been decades ago as the Perspex is unbreakable
My auld lad probably knows him so
I donât doubt it. It was a common occurrence though.
Doubt it. Iâd say he was gone out of it by 1955. He knew the Harroldâs though. Used to meet them at matches in the 80âs.
My auld lad started off on a high nellie cycling about 40/50 mile a day before it became cool.The earliest van I remember him having was a white and orange P+T Renault 4 van.Like the one in this video

Theyâd start you at the facing up machine,
That was soul destroying work but once you got a sorting station you could knock a bit of craic out of that
I had an uncle on parcels, Steph Curry wouldnât have managed it, it was incredible to watch those middle aged men lobbing parcels around and never missing the bag

Came in handy later
Different men then- my granda in Blackrock used have to cycle 20 miles plus on occasion, play a senior match for the rockies , play, cycle back and more than likely spend the night salmon fishing ( 1920s)
