    Edit: Thinking about it I used to have an early morning paper round back in the day, knocking up at the same time would have been a good little earner! What's it called these days? Added Value?

    Amazing thank you. I’m staggered that it continued into the 70’s, always presumed that it died out in the Victorian era!!

    Completely different you say? Hmm :emoticon-0147-emo:


    Two men with machetes entered the wrong house in New South Wales, Australia, before quickly realising their error.

    They had been hired to carry out a client's fantasy of being tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom.

    However, the client moved to another address 50km (30 miles) away without updating the two men. They then entered a home on the street of the original address.

    When they realised their error, one of the pair said, "Sorry, mate", and shook the resident's hand, according to local reports.

    The two men then drove to the correct address, where the client noticed one man had a "great big knife" in his trousers and asked them to leave the weapons in their car.

    The client then cooked bacon, eggs and noodles, and a short time later, the police arrived at the property, found the machetes in the car and arrested the hired pair.


    The judge concluded that "the facts of the case are unusual".

    "He was willing to pay A$5,000 if it was 'really good'," the judge said.

    UPDATED...
    Police have told residents to stay in their homes after a sleepy Hull street was cordoned-off following a pre-planned operation.

    Officers have a 20-year-old man in custody after they attended an address in Park Grove.

    He was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive curry and specially trained officers remain in the area as enquiries continue, according to Humberside Police.

    Residents were concerned over a 'curry' being found at the property.

    One told Hull Live: "Lots of police. People being told in no uncertain terms to leave the area. The street is being evacuated."

    "Police are knocking on doors asking people to leave. I heard something about “curries” being found."
