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?

Picking spuds for Paddy priests.when I was at boarding school in the early 70's, all of us who boarded at weekends would have to pick the school farm's potato harvest. Three hours in the pissing rain, with forty 12 year old boys staggering under hundredweight bags of spuds.
And the pay?
10p.
Still, at least it was a break from the anal rape.
