Jobs

I have become what's known as a "Printed Media Distribution Operative". This involves getting up at 0415 hrs, making my way to a local "Corner Shop", and then sorting out about 500 papers into "rounds". Everything from The Times to "Fakt"(a Polish daily) and one Daily Record (for the ex pat Scot !) There are some interesting demographics. The various areas have strong ties to various brand names. The exclusive "Village" area is strong on Times and Telelgraph and the Council - oops Housing Associaton - area Sun and Mirror. Middle class more Mail but some Express, Independant and the 3 completely random (in area) Observers. When sorted into the rounds I take about 7 or 8 in bags out in the van to the Junior printed media distribution operatives - or paper boys and girls, leaving them by the gates to their houses, then I deliver two large outlying rounds, including the Village and a lot of local farms and businesses. I finish between 0900 and 1000 during the week and 1000 to 1100 on Saturdays (collecting cash) and Sundays - later start. More later
