Salary Question

Can anyone tell me what a good wage for a paper round is in Basel? Is it enough to live on? How many high-rises will I need to climb to get a bag of Tudor crisps?

I was a senior paper boy for 40 years in Scunthorpe, so can I expect a six figure salary?

I can't be bothered to Google for the answer so I'll write here instead.

Cheers,
Nick

Re: Salary Question

You've not really provided enough information.

For instance, is it the traditional "canny" bag of Tudor you're after? If so, then I believe 14 floors of high-rise is the going rate. Note that these floors can be divided across several buildings, it's the total that counts.

Of course, that's the rates for standard crisps, for Tudor crisps, many paperboys are prepared to climb a mountain.


I wonder how many people have no clue what we're on about here :-)

And mountains are not in short supply in Switzerland.
