That was a fortune to Sid, Mancie, think how much he made in comission on the papers he sold, he was self employed no 'nash' in Sid's day, He also told me the taxman was always on his case, and the ex for maintenance I think they sent him down for a month for non payment, but for all that he was one lifes sadly missing characters.

cashman. was sid the guy who always wore his coat cos he had no sleeves in his jacket? or was that someone else?

That was Sid cashy, he cut the sleeves out so he could move his arms faster and it was less cumbersome holding a sheaf of papers and collecting the money, the pockets of his coat being lower made the job easier.
