Description: |
Matthew Taylor was an apprentice butcher in the village shop at the outbreak of war. Not much call for that in the army, who trained him as a qualified motor mechanic. But neither profession appealed as much as the chance to be an insurance man with the task of persuading hard-hearted Yorkshire folk to part with their money. |
Synopsis: |
These stories take us back to a time before cars and telephones were owned by every household; a trusting time shen people would leave thei payment in sheds or on window ledges, and a time when, if people were short of cash, Matthew found himself accepting goods in place of premiums - a sort of bartering system. |
