Yep. Great memories. My choice of profession was as a Change Chap. In the days when cigarette machines gave change that was taped to cigarette packs. I would proudly tell those intrigued as to what a change chap does.
The explanation went something like this;
‘You know when you buy cigarettes from a vending machine and the change is taped to the packet?’
Yes would be the response.
‘Who do think does that?’
It’s then that I would puff up my chest and with the thumb of my right hand I’d tap my chest and say with all seriousness and pride, ‘That’s me! A Chest Chap!’
And Flip’s job as a Reflector Detector was another contested question of ownership similar to our contested Rockmans Regency or your choice of hotel debate!
