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?

However......my childhood wasn't totally Oliver Twist: my parents used to give me a fiver if I went to the dentist and didn't have to have a filling (their reasoning being that it cost less to pay me to keep my teeth clean than pay the dentist to fill my teeth). The toothfairy could shove her 50p where the sun don't shine, I was making a mint and keeping my teeth!
