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 ![]() |

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.
