[00:01.47]Lesson 4
[00:03.32]The double life of Alfred Bloggs
[00:12.73]Why did Alf want a white-collar job?
[00:18.03]These days,people who do manual work
[00:21.33]often receive far more money than people who work in offices.
[00:26.49]People who work in offices are frequently referred to as 'white-collar workers'
[00:31.95]for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work.
[00:37.01]Such is human nature,
[00:38.92]that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay
[00:43.51]for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.
[00:47.39]This can give rise to curious situations,
[00:50.73]as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs
[00:53.78]who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
[00:58.67]When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job.
[01:05.35]He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation.
[01:09.27]Every morning,he left home dressed in a smart black suit.
[01:14.71]He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman.
[01:20.68]Before returning home at night,he took a shower and changed back into his suit.
[01:26.84]Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret.
[01:33.48]Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will,
[01:39.78]for Alf has just found another job.
[01:43.56]He will soon be working in an office.
[01:46.81]He will be earning only half as much as he used to,
[01:50.25]but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money.
[01:55.72]From now on,he will wear a suit all day
[01:59.08]and others will call him 'Mr.Bloggs',not 'Alf'.
