Used to deliver milk around the Calders when I was a young teenager, including the three multi’s. Friday nights was going around collecting the milk money, must have been the equivalent of hundreds of pounds in today’s money that I used to carry in a pouch around my waist, how the feck I was never mugged I’ll never know (especially in the urine stenched lifts) Don’t think you’d last five minutes nowadays.
