My old paper round was from next door to the laundrette , Trevor Jones’s newsagents 7 mornings a week , six evenings of echos and an extra one for the pinks after 6 all for about £2.50 a week
Wow...heavy round that, especially with weight of some of the Sunday papers years ago! Our shop never delivered The Pink, we just waited in the shop for the driver to chuck a bundle in!
The shop would be full and The pink would sell out if both teams did well, if not there wasn't as much demand.
Great paper, always remember it would say what teams where on MOTD that night and on the following days footy programme.
Bizarrely, if one of the local games was running late, such was the rushed nature of getting the paper out, the paper would end their report without knowing the final score!
