i recall--back in the 60's--being told by a circuit servant : it was ok to knock a door--near home--first thing in the morning--then travel to whomever's house we were meeting at---then on to the map we were working. so the first 90 minutes was clocked up like that. this was when i was a regular pioneer ( =100 hours a month back then )
also--when it was my turn to visit the KH--in the cold of winter--to light up the old coal burning boiler for the cast iron radiators--this was a good 2 hours worth.
and driving to the neighbouring congregation servants house to collect each fortnights load of magazines off the bethel lorry. and stay for lunch. ( i was the mags/territory servant )
if it was raining--or even looked like it might--then it was time spent in a snooker hall--or 10 pin bowling alley.
i could go on--but--i think we all did similar. i made a nice little earner out of my magazine route--as a pioneer back then--we paid one penny each for the mags--and sold them for four pence each. the profit ran my car.
