Paperboy...

A few things come into my head with this word. What brought it about was on my drive into work i saw a couple of grown men with a bright orange paperbag delivering the sunday papers. Now they are either desperate for a few easy quid or overhelpful parents. Seems amazing to me that parents would go out on probably one me their 2 days off to cover their childs weekly round. I know if i had ever had a paper round what my of said if i'd asked! The other thing that i think of is the 80's computer game where you had to deliver papers on your bike against a whole heap of problems. Sounds dull and looking back it was, but if you're of the same generation you'll know that it was great then.

Don't paperboys grow up to be Avon salespeople, in a bid to continue to abuse your letterbox?
