Re: Jug and bottle

In the mid 1960's I was sent by my Uncle to get the 'Dockey'. This job was to cycle over the fens to the nearest pub and get the big enammelled jug filled with beer. Then I had to cycle back to where they were washing carrots etc being careful not to spill any. The beer was for the workers as part of their lunch.

Hinder & Stop would have had a field day. I simply collected the beer. The farmer settled up each week. I was 10-12 at the time. No one cared a toss about me carrying 5-6 pints of beer. Very different today.
