Protection racket BB ?



Ha ha, only at school- it was teh only time there were smaller people than me.  Just remembered frying eggs for 12 hours at Tesco Watford week after week! Shit job, but clocked if I worked a 12 hour day on one departmnet on a sunday then an hour off followed by 11 in another departmenet id earn something like £275 as double pay, that was a highlight of 3 years in teh place.

Used to deliver the Swindon Messenger and got paid £3.50 (or thereabouts) for about 2 hours work. Got more if there were loads of leaflets to put in the papers too.

My first proper job was a data entry clerk at the age of 16. I thought I'd hit the jackpot earning £4.50 an hour.

Fist pay packet was £30 for working weekends in the pet shop at the old Greenbridge market in the early 90's. I got sacked for falling asleep on the job...I did actually fall asleep in the store room...for four hours...

First "proper job" was £11k a year not long after.
