To me, this is just a job People could look at me and think I'm daft But at the end of the day Overall... I'm just making a living My name's Alfie I'm 18 I'm from Clitheroe Born and bred here I've got a tandem push iron And I go around doing odd jobs Whatever you need doing I'm the man for you Gutter cleaning Rubbish removals Drain unblocking Repairs Maintenance work I can fit more on that push bike Than you can in a bloody van And you think I'm lying I've worked for quite a few people now In my time Fucking hell I just kept getting fired So I thought right, if I set up by myself... I can't sack myself So who's gonna sack me? I think it's a brilliant idea... And I think eventually you're gonna be a big boss And you're gonna have more people working for you You're gonna But I want you to put me down For the first job You're booked on That's the one fella Are you alright there yeah? Have you had a few cans? I got diagnosed with ADHD But I don't think diagnosing someone is a nice thing to do It's kinda putting a label on someone Saying "You're this..." But actually, you're not They've stopped me from going down the tip They've banned me Apparently I'm taking down commercial waste... But it's not commercial waste It's waste from the local people of... Of the town "He's just trying to help people..." "That can't afford tip runs and stuff" "Leave him alone" "And let him crack on" Another person said... "Get a grip Lancashire County Council" Alfie! Alfie! Hiya All I'm trying to do is just make a few... I know A few quid and help local folk out I know But they think I'm making a business And it's... It's not them... It's the people above them in the offices Saying "You can't do this, you can't do that" Absolutely, well I signed your petition Hopefully, with the good people of... With people behind me Hopefully, it'll be lifted but... 'Cause you provide a really, really valuable service And you have been for 18 months, why now? I know... Why have they decided that now's the time That you can't do that anymore? It's confusing And for me as someone who's not the brightest... They're trying to get you to pay to take Commercial waste so they can get wages out of it It's all about money But apparently, they don't recycle that commercial waste They only recycle your domestic waste Your commercial waste has to be bloody dumped It's a bloody stupid system They're dodgy They are very dodgy I've tried helping people out and... I'm just a bit confused, where does trade waste go? That's the thing I've been talking to some people You've gotta take it to a different tip And it's a transfer station But the nearest transfer station is near Burnley side You're just gonna have to diversify again Alfie Find summat else I will do Don't worry about that I'll find summat to do There's loads and loads of ways to make money I'm not gonna stop For no fucker At all I'll keep my straight mind, and I'll just keep going Right, thank you very much Roses are red...

Where there's a way, there's a will He's gone away and saved himself thirty grand Hiya pal How are you? Not so bad I dunno, I've been drinking too much Guinness I think Have a nice day Well done These wheelie bins will be like spick and span By the time I'm done with them Fucking hell, some of these bins stink It smells like summat has gone up the drainpipe Curled up and gone off Best bit of the job is getting my hands dirty That's the sign of a grafter that... Look at them They're fucking ripping Ripping like leather It shows how much I've been wanking that does That's a hard days graft If your hands don't look like that... Then you must be on Jobseeker's Allowance Life is shit, but at the end of the day... Tough shit There's always someone who's worse out than you I know... It might not be the best job I have here but It's a job And I'm making a couple of quid So I can't knock myself Most of these fuckers are full The fuck's that? The fucking hell is that?

Fucking hell, the time is running out Fuck Right, we're out I'm out of money I'm out of money I think I've run out of cash It'll have to do that, won't it? I've probably spent more money putting quids in Than I've made out of the fucking bins anyway Sometimes you've gotta lose money to make money So that's... Up near... Up near the school That's 3A That's 3A I guess... I can only do so much on my tandem And at some point, I'm gonna have to... Do something that's gonna earn me more money Not far now Nothing is easy in life I get my good days, and I get my bad days I might earn fifty quid one day And then the next day I might... I might make some pork scratchings I might get nothing But then other days I might make a do Yeah, not so bad I've hurt myself, like a nob Playing football You can't ride a push bike with one leg can you? You need two And my bike's my life You know what I mean? Without my bike... I can't make money It's one thing after another Hiya Leonard, you alright fella? Alright thanks, yeah Good man Do you know what I mean Look at Leonard He's got one leg... I've got a foot that's sore It ain't so bad is it in life? I've been planning for a while now To set up my own delivery service But now my leg is fucked I'm gonna have to find a different way around it That looks the part, doesn't it? So... Take a seat and I'll run through the controls Alfie It's like a cockpit innit? So if you turn that down Perfect You've got indicators left and right I feel right posh now Yeah Horn Hazards Then to move forward, you just squeeze that Reverse is that Right It's just finding the biting point Blooming heck, it's a bit nippy innit? Steady on Right, thank you very much I'll see you soon Thank you, bye-bye Just take it nice and easy Step by step Fuck me Good evening love You're alright sweetheart You what? Am I going a bit too fast for you lad? I've always realised to myself... No one's gonna be there to wipe your arse And pick up pieces behind you You alright? Yeah are you? Not so bad If you get knocked down, you've gotta get back up again And... The thing with me... I won't back down easily I'll deliver owt from toiletries to beers To cigs to... Coal, butter... Pet food, wine, milk Whatever you want And like I were saying before... If someone's sat on the toilet, right... And they're on the shithouse... And they go to wipe their arse but They've got no toilet roll Who are they gonna call? Well that's where my service comes in handy Would you pay £3 for a leaflet? You're not selling the leaflets I'm not selling leaflets am I? I'm selling the food Would you pay £3 for me to bring you some fish and chips? I think it's cheap I think it's a fucking bargain But at the same time, if someone turned up Looking like myself with a peg leg I'd turn it down I can't ride a bike like that can I? Look like fucking Popeye Got pinched What do you mean? Flogged it I used it... Well, you'll have to get a sheet of tarpaulin 'Cause I had it, I put it down a back alley... I went to it the next day And it were gone It's part of life dad You pinch... And you've gotta just make a do haven't you? I didn't pinch it off you Thank you This will be the hardest part of the day this Setting up So... Obviously... Without my trolley, I can't do so much So I'm gonna quickly try and attempt to attach this onto Onto the transport Then crack on We're running a bit behind on time But we don't mind that Once it's in there it shouldn't shift at all What do you reckon? That could work I've always been pretty hands on All my life, really You know what I mean? I do quite enjoy it But I couldn't do it for a job For a living 'Cause... I've done mechanicing When I first left school, I went to A car shop, James Alpe's And I felt like a fucking mushroom You know what I mean, I weren't seeing time of day So I thought "I don't want this kind of job" But I like what I'm doing now I'm outside... I'm talking to local folk I'm having fun And yeah I can't complain really, it's just When you get faced with fucking issues like Like I have now with my foot and what have you That's just perks of being self-employed I can't rely on someone else to do the job for me so... It's part of it innit? Fucking hell, I can't find owt in here Might have to be a tie wrap job Tie wraps won't let you down I need that to stay like that There's always a way... I'm getting numb There's always a way in life If it's... No matter what it is Fucking hell get on there That should hold that bar That'll do it Blu Tack and a spanner As long as it's firm in there, I've got nowt to worry about A few more straps on that and we should be happy with that It ain't holding a lot of weight... It's only gonna be holding... It's only gonna be holding food and what's in the back How's that? Hey I'm chuffed with that That's perfect Spot on When I were younger... I always thought I were weird And I'd... Put myself aside from other kids and stuff But... Then as I were getting older I thought "Am I weird or are they weird?" But... I don't think it were how I grew up I think it's just the way I am Everyone's different in all their different ways And what they do and how they are There's not one the same What I quite like about this world 'Cause if we were all the same... It would be boring, wouldn't it? I'm fucking wet an' all I feel like a drained rat down a fucking pipe I've not had a single phone call I'm fucking piss wrapped And I've got a dodgy foot What else can go wrong? I think it's just a slow start to the day It's not one of them jobs were you go and... Door to door sales, it's more like you... You sit back and you... And you wait for the calls to come in But I've not had a single call yet Good afternoon Would you like a leaflet? I'm just doing a new service If you're at home and you need something Like toiletries or anything like that... If you can ring me, I can bring it to you Might retire It's pissed it down all day And I've not... I've not had a single phone call Not made a penny... Not made a pound... All I've done is lost I'm piss wet through It's not often I complain either, it's just because... Well I'll admit I was expecting... I were expecting a customer... You know what I mean, I've not had a single one Phone's ringing... Welcome to the O2 messaging service There's people my age now who are going to university People who are getting apprenticeships People who are getting grades and... And I guess... Because I left school early and I had no GCSEs And all that kind of carry on So if it came to it, I've got nothing there to fall back on Well that's it, you know what I mean, you can always All I've gotta do is keep my hopes up And... Tomorrow is I guess another day You know what I mean? And it's Saturday tomorrow So I'm hoping it should be a bit busier People going out and... Being at home and it's weekend So they want a Saturday night takeaway to have in at home So fingers crossed You know what I mean, 'cause so far... So far I've made a loss I've not made fuck all Alfie Fucking hell Hello? You shit me up Alfie... Are you getting up mate? Alfie... What? It's one in the afternoon mate Is it? Are you joking?

Please mate, can you please stop? Hey What are you eating? Oh for fuck sake Dog treats have dropped The bag is wrong way round It's like gravy Fucking hell I come up here a lot, right... There's one thing that drives me mad, right And I don't get annoyed a lot at this town It's a lovely town, but... Things that piss me off a lot Is graffiti... Because once it's on, you can't get it off And I've come up the castle for a nice stroll, right... And I'm faced by a couple of cocks Well, it's pornography I don't mind pornography, but when it's all over Fucking streets of Clitheroe And folk are coming here to see our beautiful town And they're faced by a couple of cocks On the pavement It's when it's... It's when it's spunking up an' all... That doesn't help either does it? That just puts the icing on the cake I best crack on and clean them 'Cause if no one else does it then... They'll be there till next July them Well... I don't even clean my own So I don't know why I'm cleaning these fuckers There's not one thing that WD-40 can't fix If it's cocks or a door knob It'll do it all Clitheroe is a nice place, and it's not often you get stuff like this But, you get robberies and stuff like that It's part of what it is Youths are growing up But, when they're spreading the love all over the paths... When folk are walking over it I've just got a bit of bleach on the floor I don't wan't the dog to lick it up No, there were a couple of... Have a good evening People love the gossip It's like the town crier has been out Just a couple of cocks on the floor People are thriving over it People are thriving over it If there's a lightbulb out on the street... They'll talk about it Because it's such a small place, and there's only a few people in it They all gossip For some folk They'll talk about this up to Christmas They've put my face on the front page Like I've done it... If I were reading this... And I didn't know... I'd look at that and think "Disgusting graffiti at top tourist" And my face is right there Sometimes you put in and try and do good But you get shit back I could get ten year for that... There's nothing more in life that you want Except just to be happy, you could have all the money in the world You can be healthy in life But it's all about being happy No matter what your circumstances As I'm getting older, you get more wise don't you? And you understand things a lot more Some things work in life, and things don't I couldn't ask for a better community to live in And it's not long ago we got named The happiest place to live I've always seen it as you only get one life to live You've gotta take it by the bollocks and live it I've come into this world with nothing So I'll leave with nothing And that's what I think is the key to life... You come with nowt And you fucking go with nowt And that's it... That's it...
