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?
You’d have had the knocker uppers Union up in arms with that disgraceful plan.
What if they’d decided to deliver papers?That’s the problem with all this modern thinking...no bloody long term thought about the impact on unemployment and the wider economy....{wanders off muttering, shaking his head in his well worn brown shop steward’s overall jacket...}

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."

Not sure about the rest but knocker-uppers were still around as late as the 1970's!

I don't know whether it was true or not, maybe our friends from over the pond can confirm, a work colleague once told me he was working in the East coast of USA & Canada and he started dating a girl there. One weekend they decided to go to the beach and start early, so he went at 5 am to collect his girlfriend. There was no sign of life in the house so he banged on the door, and his girlfriend father opened an upstairs window asking when was going on. My friend said "sorry to wake you but I was just knocking up your daughter". The guy came furious and chased him off telling him never to come back.
Apparently, that term means you have just ****ed his daughter over there.
