I can still hear the old boy flogging that paper on Northumberland Street in the mid/late 1980s...

I have similar memories of The Pink being sold. Usually an old boy shouting "Pink!". Different times.

I have memories of hanging around the newsagent (sorry, papershop) waiting for them to come in and then set about delivering them. Later when I was old enough to drink I remember the Pink being hawked around the pubs of the Bigg Market by old boys earning a bit of beer money having just took a bundle from Thompson House.  One year my dad was photographed the in the Pink (and not for fighting) so he pocketed £20 if he presented himself to Thompson House reception with said Pink. Not bad in those days.
