[00:01.080] --- lesson 4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs
[00:06.640] --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
[00:12.320] --- Why did Alf want a white-collar job?
[00:17.560] These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices.
[00:26.040] People who work in offices are frequently referred to as 'white-collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work.
[00:36.560] Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.
[00:46.920] 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.
[00:58.240] When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job.
[01:04.880] He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation.
[01:08.760] Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit.
[01:14.240] He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman.
[01:20.200] Before returning home at night, He took a shower and changed back into his suit.
[01:26.320] Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret .
[01:33.000] Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will,
[01:39.280] for Alf has just found another job.
[01:43.080] He will soon be working in an office.
[01:46.320] He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money.
[01:55.240] From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.
