Re: What was your Saturday job as a young 'un?
 

I was a cleaner in my school and a KP and local pub/resturant I had 2 jobs. I also learnt how to clean beer lines, I can still pour a good pint and clean lines should I have too:D

I then went to to the US for summer at I got $230 for being out there, the following summer I got $560 well it was a pay raise, in between was a waiter, cocktail bartender, worked in music store, computer game stores and was a runner! Whilst getting my HND.

Lucky git!







Age 12-15, Saturdays and after school. I worked cleaning up cars took in on trade at the dealership where my old man was a car salesman.
Don't remember what it paid. At that age was happy just to drive the cars around. LOL

But of course what I remember most ....
Was there I met my first true love!
And what she was a red hot beauty she was!














My life would never be the same.

I worked at the bear factory/build-a-bear shop in Milton Keynes a few years back. Mate sorted me out with the job. You'd get to dress up as a bear when they have kids parties, and run around the shop causing havoc and messing stuff up being a naughty bear, great fun that was! Got stick from the lads working there though, but better than a clothes shop and who ever manages to get HMV?!

This is me in the smelly suit that never got washed. You come out of it drenched, and you can only see through the nose when you put the bears head on. Took out quite a few mums and granny's by flapping my arms around when walking/running. It's like trying to look out of a single bog roll, no peripheral vision what-so-ever!

I hate dancing and doing lame stuff normally, but amazing what you're willing to do when you're undercover in a bear suit :-)

Re: What was your Saturday job as a young 'un?
 

I used to do a milk round from the age of about 12 during the week from 2 am till school time & also worked on a record stall on the market in Crewe on a Saturday.
I was offered a job as a milkman when I left school for £150 a week, but my mother (bless her) told me I had to find a decent career, so ended up working in a Tool Hire shop for £25 a week :(
Still in the Tool & Plant Industry & hate most of it, but it's all I know

Re: What was your Saturday job as a young 'un?
 

I had no choice. Mum wouldn't let me have a paper round being a girl :rolleyes: but at 16 I was told I would have to start paying board (only a tenner a week but still a hell of a lot for a teenager with little to spare!). I was told I had to get a job that summer. So I saw an ad in the local petshop, got an application form, got an interview and bam! the job was mine. Felt great, I'd beaten loads of others to get it :D

Around the same time of applying for the petshop I had wandered down a street and asked for a job in one of the shops there, just one. She said yeah let's have a trial run on sundays. I'm still there now :D That rubbed it in my parents' faces a bit, I'd managed to get 2 jobs instead of one hehe.

Good question. Wish I could rely on the bank of mum and dad but I don't appear to have an account :-(

Never had one... Saturdays were watching Garfield and Friends in the morning, then eating samosas while watching Red Dwarf or Blackadder in the afternoon, and then play Gunship 2000 or something on the computer all afternoon.

And do homework. Maybe. I suppose I missed out, I didn't have a job until my 'gap year' before university.

Started off washing up in a pub/resteraunt, then glass collecting, then behind bar. Used to do a bit of fabricating and general fixing and bodging too.

Re: What was your Saturday job as a young 'un?
 

First job was when I was around 12 I think - typical paper round, got paid something daft like £2.50/h but I did it every day Monday thru Sunday for several months during term time

On a good day it was quite fun, on a bad day (Sunday editions and heavy rain were the worst) it was miserable, but it was great to have an independent income, as small as it was. I must have been one of the few who didn't blow most of their wages buying stuff in the paper shop on payday:D

Other odd job was working for Royal Mail one summer - they paid very well compared to the rest of the Island and it left my summer afternoons free. Also, you could pretty much drive to work at 60mph at ~3am and not see another soul. Actually enjoyed it and it had a smaller proportion of cocksockets compared to pretty much every other employment I've had:D
