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 13 it my old man decided I had to get a jobso I got a morning paper round, all well and good 14 quid a week and at Christmas I would get 200-250 in tips, not that bad really.
on top of that when I was 15 I worked in a bike shop for 20 quid every Saturday.
and from the age of 16 I waited on tables 3 nights a week.
I should have been raking it in but all I have to show for it is lopsided shoulders, a rather nice bike and bad attitude to work.
