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?

when I was 14I packed in the paper round because I had been headhunted by Nasa to develop an ion propulsion system for them. $10,000 consultancy fees plus flights, 5 star accomodation and hookers. Eventually I got bored with this and went to work on the fruit n veg stall on Long Eaton market.
