[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 493197, member: 1408"] You have a point Dave , I remember window cleaners with a ladder , riding a bike . Trouble is everything has to be done at 300 MPH these days . You've made me think of when I was a kid , we had the Co-op milkman and the local bakery delivering each day by horse & cart , I used to go out to speak to the horses . Then the milk changed to an electric milk float . Oh and the coal man came on a horse & cart too. Also a bloke rode a bike carrying a short ladder on his shoulder , he stopped at the end of each street to put the ladder up to the gas lamp post in the middle of the road between bollards and light it . He returned early mornings to put them out again . Then a clockwork timeswitch was fitted but he still came to wind it up . ANd , while I'm at it , on our corner we had a red box on a pillar , about a foot square , with a smash glass in it's door , inside was a phone direct to the Fire Service. [/QUOTE]
