I worked on a farm at weekends from 14 to 16. Loved it. Got me away from the house, got to drive big machines and earned a small amount of money.

Every kid should have a weekend job, regardless of family income.

exactly
i have friends in cheshire whose parents are filthy stinking rich, and they were still made to have jobs.

there is a massive difference between those people and the ones who were allowed to swan around on daddy's credit card from the age of 12.

I am sure there is a big difference.
Middle class people who think the world owes them a living are just as bad as chavs on benefits who think the same.

the only difference is that the m/c people aren't actually costing anyone except their own families.
so at least SOMEONE earned it!

True. It is the attitude that annoys me rather than the source of the money.

Paperboy from 13-15, worked as a glass collector and in a shop the summer I turned 16
Think I've only been out of work for 3 weeks altogether since I was 13.

From about the age of 8 or soo, working saturdays in one of dad's shops. Cheaper than a baby sitter, taught me stock control and lots of maths.
My favorite was when the hockey finals were on, setting up a stole inside Wembley Arena (and later the manchester ninex or whatever it's called), on the day before packing up the van, on the day working from about 6 in the morning 'till around midnight. I loved it.

I can honestly say, if I wasn't skilled at computery stuff, I would probably be working in some sort of market capactiy, I loved all of it, I'm fucking wicked at the banter.

I can imagine you on a fishmonger stall with a sign next to you saying 'ASK ME FOR RECIPE SUGGESTIONS'
