What was your Saturday job as a young 'un?

Don't have one - need one.


Anyone hiring? :P

paper round, supermarket shelf stacker, stock taking, pipe fitters labourer, chimney sweep, down the mines instead of a canary... tell young folks that today and they won't believe you

i worked in a green grocers filling spud hoppers, stacking shelfs, mopping the floor ect, i got £25 ppw in 1986-87 which made me think i was loaded

Interesting to see that a lot of people have worked for years and some of these "Youngsters" haven`t had a Saturday or Part Time job and own motorbikes and have passed expensive tests . How do you pay for everything like Insurance and Fuel ?

Even still , a Learner bike and CBT , then lessons and test for Full Licence and then an SV with Insurance etc , that`s a massive outlay even for people that are moderately loaded .

I had a paper round and half my wages went into "bank of mom" for housekeeping. The other half went into a post office savings account.

Anyway, Mum would not allow me to have a Paper round, but I was allowed to work weekends in the local Cycle shop. Progressed from PDI Mechanic to loud mouthed harpy in three months according to the woman I worked for. We fell out and I walked out never to return. They owed me three days pay, but it was the principle of the thing.

Next Saturday job was working in another pushbike shop, ended up being best mates with the owner until he closed it down and bought a car dealership.

Then went to Uni and got a part time job in yet another bike shop and ended up as work shop manager. Had a great time.

Carol also had a Weekend job while she was young. She was a guard on the train that ran up Birnbeck Pier (technically a bridge to Birnbeck Island, the Pier came out from there). Sadly Birnbeck Island is derelict now and I think it breaks her heart every time she sees it.
