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 about 19in between college, got a job in Peters Pies. It was without doubt the shittiest job I have ever had. And it fucking stunk. Worked two weeks, using a steam hose to get rid of bits of spine, trotter and any other bit of pig which hadnt made it into their delicious pasties. The first day i was there, working off the sausage meet plant, i hear a splat sound. As i turn, the cunts in the sausage area were lobbing lumps of sausage meat at me. As i turned, one hit me on the side of the head and went in my ear. Cunts. So when i get my pay packet after two weeks of back-breaking shit work, i have 76 pounds for the week. The amount per hour £2.78. Wheeeeee....
Asked me if i wanted to work on another week. Did i fuck.
