Dunno about the rtest of them but the name Jolly caught my eye. During the short period I was in Camperdown with my mum and dad - who ran the newsagency 1944-46 -I remember a Fred Jolly (well named actually) who was the local sanitary contractor.

A delightful story about Fred ame from when the local milkman (whose name I can't recall) told every one that they would have to start leaving their milk bottles or billies at the fron gate as he would no longer deliver to the front verandah or (front door), Fred told him that was OK by him but he, the milkman, would have to start leaving his sanitary can at the front gate too!

Needless to say, Fred had his milk delivered exactly where he wanted it.
