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?

ScummerfieldsI did 6-8 mon-thur and 6 hours on saturday stacking and cleaning the dairy department, I was 16 and they paid me the princely sum of £1.9887/h. Yes, they paid me to 4 decimal places! rund it up to £2?? NEVER! all my mate got jobs in tesco and got £4/h bah!
Plus point I did suplement my meager wage by not swiping out for lunch and 'other' means (never should of let me near the pricing gun).
Oh and also this older bird join the department in the shift befor me and immdiately assumed she was my superior because she was 30 odd and started shifting her work to me. Bitch. We had a barney in the end and she threatened to tell the manager, to which I informed her she is more than welcome to tell him that I'm not doing her job for her (shut her up good). Now I have a cushy office job! W00t!
Sorry for going off on abit of a tangent but it's that girth and technique that count.
