What Actually Happened When the Rent Man or Insurance Man Knocked
There were two knocks every working-class British family in the 1970s knew instantly — and neither one was a friendly one. This one goes through exactly what happened when the rent man, the insurance man, or the Provident man came calling — the payment book, the good weeks and the bad ones, the lookout system kids ran on their own street, and why a simple weekly transaction on the doorstep carried so much quiet dignity. If you remember that specific knock, you'll remember everything that came with it. Was it the rent man, the insurance man, or the Provident man at your door? Tell us below.
