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?

Work Experience15 years of age, making a database for a smallish company, apparently work experience has to be unpaid and the school manages to tell every employer this. What utter bastards.
Imagine my suprise when I was given a £50 cheque on the second day. Score!
*laughs at everyone else's misery*
Years later realises this was £2 an hour, half minimum wage! Still better than your heart ripping stories.
*resumes laughing*
