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?

Stade rides Hastings - 15 - 80p an hourTalk about child labour - working on Stade rides Hastings Old Town circa 1989 for 80p an hour. My how I felt rich.
Highlight of the year was the carnival day we could work 18 hour shift whilst dealing with rowdy kids, drunk townies and heaving unwashed masses.
Then all the money was spent in arcades - that the owner of the amusuement park owned. Arf.
