L4-(1): The doublelife of Alfred Bloggs
These days, peoplewho do manual work often receive far more money than people who work inoffices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white-collar workers" for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar andtie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willingto sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of AlfredBloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation. When he gotmarried, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. Hesimply told her that he worked for the Corporation.
