The Double Life of Alfred Bloggs
These days people who do manual work often recieve far more money than people who work in offices.People who work in the offices are frequentely referred to as "white-collar workers",for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work.(1)_____________________________.This can give rise to curious situations.As it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere corporation .
When he got married ,Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job.He simply told her that he worked for the corporation.Every morning he dressed in a smart black suit.He then changed into overalls and spent the next 8 hours as a dustman.Before returning home at night,he took a shower and changed back into his suit.Alf did this for over 2 years,and his fellow dustman kept his secret.Alfer's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman,and she never will,for Alfer has just found another job.He Will soon be working in an office.(2)_____________________________.From now on he will wear a suit all day , and others will call him "Mr.Bloggs",not "Alf".
**** Hidden Message ***** 1)Such is human nature that great many people are often winning to ..higher pay for the quickly becoming white-collar workers
2)He will be earning only halves much used to ,but he feels that he does rise instead is where worth a lots of money
