Many years ago I used to have a pools round, used to collect the coupons on a Thursday (iirc?) then cash up, then take the money round to the local agent less my 12.5% commission.

I did it for a year or two until I got a new job and moved away to another town.

Once won £3,000 too but that was in the works syndicate I ran at the time so only came out with a couple of hundred when it was all divided out.

The funny story I have though involves one of my work colleagues who offered to take over the round when I left.

I cleared it with the local agent and took the bloke out with me to show him how to do the round the week before I left.

Thing is though he was (probably still is) a pisshead.

Apparently he did the round one night and instead of cashing up went down to the pub until it closed - then drove home!

The agent, who was waiting for his money ended up calling the police (he assumed that he either had been robbed or done a runner) who went round to the pissheads home and after quite a while managed to wake him up to come to the door!

Apparently they asked him loads of awkward questions about how he got home that night!

In the end the Agent got the money, the pisshead (who was a council officer(!)) got sacked by Littlewoods but managed to squirm his way out from drunk driving as there weren't CCTV cameras about in those days to prove he had been driving.

The pisshead was/is a Yorkshireman - Leeds fan too - enough said eh!

Anyone collecting money these days would probably get knocked on the head.

Did you sort the puncture out?

Anyone else use a genuine 'snotrag' as my dad used to call them?
