Re: What was your Saturday job as a young 'un?
 
Worked in the local grocers on Saturdays and 2/3 evenings after school, used to use my wages to "speculate" at school, i was the only one with a regular income so i always had a ready supply of ciggies and other contraband which i could sell for extortionate rates, also used to loan people money and charge "average" interest rates ;)
But the most enterprising was to buy the dinner tags off of the single parent kids for £10 a term, i then use to hire the tags out for £1 a day.
My initial out lay used to be on average £100 a term but then i used to pull in £50 a week by hiring them out to my mates. My old man could never work out where i got all my money from, still it gave me savings to buy my 1st bike (Suzuki X1) after school i left to do my YTS as a chef earning a massive £27:50p a week. How many people could say they were earning more at school :(

As well as helping the milkman in my earlier years, i used to help on some saturdays at my friends fathers joinery firm, he used to pay us £10 a day which made me feel loaded ;), he used to buy us all our sandwiches and everything, sadly i found out late last year he had passed away after the event, i would have gone to his funeral had i known about it, he was a good man who probably got me more interested in woodwork than anyone.

Never needed an official saturday job, as I was in a band earning bloody good money by anybody's standards. Still go out doing that, it makes a mockery of my apprentice wages.

The glory days went up in a puff of a car too many King Edwards, when the customs looked too closely at Tony Dean's KEC specal


Please note, the photos are representative of the cars, from the net, not my own
