On one occasion I was given an envelope to delivery to an address in Erdington.
On arrival at the house there was a guy with a camera, and as I handed over the letter to the man at the house, this guy took a picture. The letter contained a thank you and a cheque for an amount of money, apparently this man had reported someone damaging a phone box and this was his reward. I returned to the office thinking no more of the incident.
Some days later I was sent for by the Inspector of Messengers, on entering his office he had a copy of the Birmingham Evening Mail. He then showed me this picture the guy had taken when I delivered the letter to Erdington. The picture was taken from the back of me, unfortunately at the time my hair was a little long and hanging over my collar.
The Inspector was not very pleased as you were expected to keep your hair short it was just my luck this guy took the picture from the angle he did.
I never got sent anywhere again.
