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?

merkinsDon't vote for this cos I've posted this before, but I want to tell you one of the best stories I've heard.
A black friend was working as his first job at Butlins, and he'd become really popular with the punters. I don't know why there was an American staying there, florida is well nice, but my mate overhead the guest say "One of the friendliest people I've met here is Jeff. He's a British Afro American".
Sorry to repeat myself like that "Talking Heads" Alan Bennett character that ends up in prison for being boring, but I haven't finished my pizza yet. And God knows there are worse stories than this.
