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?

I used to work in a travel agents...when i was about 13 or 14, doing the data entry and mundane IT type tasks for a pitiful 'wage' of 85p an hour. I also used to work out my own timesheets and once got a massive bollocking for accidently rounding up to 90p, meaning i made about an extra pound that week. My boss died of a heart attack several years after i left. Karma? Maybe...
