I wonder how many of you like me remember when you got your first wage packet, I started work in a wine factory and on a Friday lunch time the foreman walked around the factory with a metal tray on one arm, and he called out your name, as he knew all the workers, and then he gave you your wages , which came sealed in a little brown envelope .
once opened there was a pay slip, it was a 1/4 inch wide about a foot long which had all the details
of what you earned, how much tax you had paid and relevant details , and of course you checked the money which added up to what you had been paid and if there was a discrepancy then you mentioned it to the foreman ,
Seventy years on , now were paid by direct debit for just about everything. much easier and simpler.all round, ...... even paying bills then meant endless running back and forth to the shops a weekly ritual , do you remember those times,
