Hmmm number 24 must be incorrect.
LOL, some of them i agree with some I dont. but you are definitely right about 24
I remember when our garbage was collected in galvanised tin rubbish bins on the footpath by a team of 3 or 4 Garbos hanging off the side of the garbage truck, running in relays to pick the bins up. One of the Garbos on our run was a first grade rugby league player for the Eastern Suburbs Roosters. Very exciting to see for a young lad. His only wage was about $250 a week as a Garbo, and his physical training regimen consisted of running from the footpath to the truck with a 20Kg garbage bin about 200 times each morning, and his dietary intake involved about 6 or 8 schooners each day at knock-off time with the blokes on the truck. A top Sportsman of the day.
These days, he would not need to "Work" at all, as he would be on a contract of $400,000pa and be monitored and trained by professional nutritionists and trainers. But either way, all they do (then and now) is just play a game of footy.
Errgh. The comments are better than the "article".Quote:

Ryans in Spencer Street Melbourne is one that comes to mind.
Woolworths Supermarkets have a similar in principal pneumatic system in operation today.
