When I was avery young lad the newsagents were owned Billy Barlow and Albert Fryer.Barlow’s was bought by Reg Scott and his wife and Fryer’s was bought by Bernard and Joan Ault.I delivered papers for Bernard for 2 years until I left school at Christmas 1961.I think Ron Procter bought the business from Bernard and then Gerald and Joy Finney bought it from Ron.I met The Finney’s again around 1997 when I repaired their Freezer at their home in Ash Bank, they were both well.Back in those days if you wanted to do a paper round, you had to go to the school clinic and have a medical to prove you were fit.Imagine toting a hundred Sentinels on a Saturday night, the bag was barely liftable.As young lads most of us had air guns, nothing fancy just a Diana or Gat pistol.We bought our slugs from Scott’s, probably about sixpence for a hundred.Because we were law abiding citizens, we went to Hanley police station and withstood the third degree by the desk sergeant and paid 7s 6d for a license.
