Hi, Peter and Chrisbrin.

Yes, i believe it was the Derby House.

I used to deliver round the South and part Central of Heanor. It was good money for those days, just as long as the round was large enough to sustain the financial losses caused by non-payers and the people who went on holiday without notification. The highest non-payer actually ran up a bill of 12 bob before kaput day. In those few months, that bloke must have buried at least half a dozen G-Mothers. I must have been callous? But, having heard ALL the excuses under the Sun................

It was good fun doing the 4/5 hours or so paper-round. I enjoyed it, except for that damn Mansfield Rd; bit - going up it, anyway.

In my Posting above, i should have said we went there on Sundays to purchase newspapers for our already established round(s) and not to buy the round itself. You only did that once.

No-doubt the Sun set on the business when the news-agents began to sell the many Sunday papers. Another golden egg laid to rest for someone.
Azzabuv.
