[edit]
This page has one of those idiotic refs required tags. I wish the idiots who insert them took the trouble to do a Google search or two and add refs.
Until I get around to it here are some links to refs:

How did the knocker-upper wake up in time?
[edit]Did they have their own knocker-uppers? And did the knocker-upper-knocker-uppers have knocker-upper-knocker-upper-knocker-uppers? --Ugly Ketchup (talk) 00:10, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
The knocker-upper bought an alarm clock on credit, which he eventually paid off with the profits from his work. To get the loan, he canvassed for customers who would subscribe to his service, then presented sworn, notarized affidavits to that effect to the bank's loan manager. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.212.154.149 (talk) 10:36, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
