I worked on the chicken farm in New Zealand for a day when I was 14.
I live by there - horrible place. And some of the mongs who get jobs there are even worse! I'm surprised you managed to last a day! My first job was the one at WHSmith, which I've been doing on and off for 3 years. Think I started on about £4.60 an hour. Before that I used to stick up skittles at Goatacre Village Hall. Best part of a tenner for an hour's "work". If I did it twice a week I was laughing! |

"Sticking up" at skittles is a rite of passage in Westbury... It wasn't a job it was something you had to do like an remedial version of National Service  |
