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?

job inbetween school and unisaw it in the job centre ... cleaner at a psychiatric hospital ... now i could say that cleaning geriatrics' shit in the toilets was a problem, that caterwauling old ladies in locked wards was a tad traumatic, or the geezer who drank cold pre-made tea (ie milk, sugar, tea leaves and water) straight from the teapot freaked me out ... or maybe elderly nudity?
nah, what really fucked me off was that the job centre ad had one rate of pay and after i'd been there for a month the manager calmly informed me that i got less because i was 17
grampian health board, i'm coming to get you ... maybe not today, or tomorrow, but sooooooon
