No zeroes appended. My final week at the Sewage works, nett, was £150. I'd worked 12 hour night shifts, over the weekend, six days in total. Time and a half after 8 hours, double time weekends plus overnight supplements. This WAS the 70's, and the plant was heavily unionised. I still have the pay slip. By comparison, I earned £149.50 for my first month as a teacher, which included a tenner married man's allowance. A teacher's starting salary now, after stoppages, would be around £1400/1500 a month I reckon.

It's the only time in my life I've been rolling in money. I was earning way more than my old man, which hacked him off royally.

You should've stuck with it. 10 years later Sinclair invented the portable TV and Nintendo invented the game boy.
Kids are cunts.
