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?

Wait a minute.....punnage aside, I was a waitress for about 2 years when I was 15-17,just before I escaped to the dubious delights of bar work and Bradford uni. £2.40 an hour and all the bleeding feet I could handle. I probably earned nearly enough back then to cover what I now need to pay out to have my malformed bunion snapped off and be on crutches for six weeks. Bastard.
