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?

Slave labour.When we were in middle school Mrs Charlton, of Busbridge school, Godalming, had us preteens tending her own garden in exchange for HOUSE POINTS. This included moving paving slabs and other heavy work.
In this illegal? I am prepared to swear in court that this happened. I'll also say she touched us if it gets her face in the local paper.
