I started as a Telegram messenger Boy in Shrewsbury on December 28th 1948 two days before my fifteen birthday
I rode a bicycle as a messenger and I had finished as a messenger before we had the Bantams Motorcycles
I went on to work as a Postman then on to Postman Higher Grade (P.H.G.) until I retired after Fifty Years Service, I did National Service from 1952 -1954
As a telegram messenger boy I broke my arm when I ran over a cat.
We used to work on a Sunday Mornings 9am until 1 pm, One sunday I sent my father a Telegram saying he had won �75,000 on the pools coupon it wasn't until the Monday I told him , it was a silly trick on my part
