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?

Its not so badBack when I was about 13ish (its a long time ago for me) I worked at a Aquarium/Reptile house, thats not to say they put lizards in fishtanks full of water but they had separate areas for said animals.
Now this classes as child labour as i only got £5 a week for doing shitloads of work, but saying that it not so bad because I got to feed chameleons, feed dead pigeons that got run over in the parking lot to boa contrictors and handle insects the size of your fist.
Which was nice
