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?

sausage boygrowing up as a catholic alter boy had perks.
Weddings £5-20. Baptisms £5-10. Funerals £0. Manual relief of the parish priest £5! The tight fucker.
Oh, & I worked as a "butcher's boy" which also involved manhandling rancid meat, but that's another story.
