Child LabourThere is a special part of Hell I'd like to reserve for those arses that order every single Sunday paper. Do you know how heavy that makes the bundle of papers some poor kid (ie me) has to lug around? Funny how your papers always seemed to get mangled in your letterbox...
I loved my paper round, but, looking back, I was getting paid peanuts to ruin my back and cycle around in the cold and dark. How were you exploited as a child?

BottlesMy worst childhood job was at 14 years old. I worked in a local pub for £1.75 an hour.
I was sorting bottles.
What this ment, is I sat out the back, up to my elbows in thousands and thousands of bottles worth of broken glass. I needed to sort it into barrels, one for clear glass, one for brown etc. What made it worse is the fact that this was one of towns busier pubs, and I was the only one doing it. It would take up to six hours a day. .... It sucked =(
