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?

At the Car WashMine wasnt all so bad and i learnt a fair few tricks along the way. Working as a car valeter in a garage that sells Mercs, Beamers, Land Rovers, Jaguars and all other fancy expensive cars. I worked with mechanics and other Valeters. I was 13, they were all 23+ and tought me everything you need to know, other than car cleaning. How to throw a perfect punch, whats a good E and a bad E, rolling techniques for all kinds of substance and i was given oppurtunities that other kids my age werent; Samuel Pepys vouchers £20 worth for a tenner, water beds for £5 each, surf boards, cheap jewelery and any tools that you could want. Thinkin back i wish id never quit.
