I used to be one of those poor sods that had to deliver papers to the
upmarket area of Luton. Every house had The Telegraph or The Times.
Sundays had to be done in two journeys, because The Times was sooo heavy!
It would take me nearly 10 minutes to deliver to one house, because it had
the tiniest letterbox imaginable. I would have to put each insert through
individually - this could be anything upto 20 in one go! I didn't dare
ditch any of them, because it was the best round for tips at Christmas!!!!
