Not much else to do in rural Aberdeenshire anyway, I suppose.

That set up only started when I stopped delivering Green Finals, which was probably late 1974 when I left school ( officially)
This fact is burned on my memory as my little brother took over my round and actually made some money.

Prior to that I was paid 25p to deliver just over 100 Green Finals.
