Fee collector tallymen Explanation: Υποχρεωτικής εκπαίδευσης εισπράκτορες σημειωτές = Fee collector tallymen with primary and lower secondary education When the Greek public water companies want to bill a customer, they send an employee to one's house to check the reading of the flow meter on the incoming mains pipe. The employee who does this task is known as a 'marker' or 'tallyman', because he keeps a tally (or count) of the amount of water consumed. [One meaning of the word ‘tallyman’ given by the Oxford Dictionary is: a person who keeps a score or record of something]. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2013-09-09 11:47:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This could also be, "Fee or bill collection tallymen", because I suspect that it is referring to one category of employee and not to two. |
