The double life of Alfred Bloggs

/ðə/ /ˈdʌbl/ /laɪf/ /ɒv/ /ˈælfrəd/ /Bloggs/

These days, people who do manual work often receive far

/ðiːz/ /deɪz,/ /ˈpiːpl/ /huː/ /duː/ /ˈmænjʊəl/ /wɜːk/ /ˈɒf(ə)n/ /rɪˈsiːv/ /fɑː/

more money than people who work in offices. People who

/mɔː/ /ˈmʌni/ /ðæn/ /ˈpiːpl/ /huː/ /wɜːk/ /ɪn/ /ˈɒfɪsɪz./ /ˈpiːpl/ /huː/

work in offices are frequently referred to as "white- collar

/wɜːk/ /ɪn/ /ˈɒfɪsɪz/ /ɑː/ /ˈfriːkwəntli/ /rɪˈfɜːd/ /tuː/ /æz/ /"waɪt-/ /ˈkɒlə/

workers" for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar

/ˈwɜːkəz"/ /fɔː/ /ðə/ /ˈsɪmpl/ /ˈriːzn/ /ðæt/ /ðeɪ/ /ˈjuːʒʊəli/ /weər/ /ə/ /ˈkɒlə/

and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great

/ænd/ /taɪ/ /tuː/ /gəʊ/ /tuː/ /wɜːk./ /sʌʧ/ /ɪz/ /ˈhjuːmən/ /ˈneɪʧə,/ /ðæt/ /ə/ /greɪt/

many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the

/ˈmɛni/ /ˈpiːpl/ /ɑːr/ /ˈɒf(ə)n/ /ˈwɪlɪŋ/ /tuː/ /ˈsækrɪfaɪs/ /ˈhaɪə/ /peɪ/ /fɔː/ /ðiː/

privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise

to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who

/tuː/ /ˈkjʊərɪəs/ /ˌsɪtjʊˈeɪʃənz,/ /æz/ /ɪt/ /dɪd/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /keɪs/ /ɒv/ /ˈælfrəd/ /Bloggs/ /huː/

workedas a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation. When he

/wɜːkt/ /æz/ /ə/ /ˈdʌstmən/ /fɔː/ /ði/ /Ellesmere/ /ˌkɔːpəˈreɪʃən./ /wɛn/ /hiː/

got married, Alf was too embarrassedto say anything to his

/gɒt/ /ˈmærɪd,/ /Alf/ /wɒz/ /tuː/ /ɪmˈbærəst/ /tuː/ /seɪ/ /ˈɛnɪθɪŋ/ /tuː/ /hɪz/

wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the
