When l was unemployed many years ago a friend asked if l wanted to make some money giving him a hand delivering coal. I wasn't keen but needed some extra money for something or other so foolishly said yes. I had trouble mastering putting the coal on my shoulder, so spent all day delivering like in the photograph above (not me in the picture). Luckily l was young and fit, but trust me, one day was enough, and l was more than happy to get back to idling around all day reading and playing records.
