"Why are you sorry Steve? 13 is small " It is but I wasn't down a coal mine and I was more than happy to have some money in my pocket. Not least because it gave me a little independence. Our kids weren't legally allowed to work until 16. | |||

What realistic Utopia, taking into consideration that people want their freedom AND equality, do you have in your manifesto to replace Capitalism, OP?

"16. A Christian & outreach printing company. Left after I discovered they used my photo for a fake "we helped this homeless person" story in a shareholders leaflet. Made a complaint and with my parents threatened legal proceedings and settled out of court. Actually ended up working with some of the same people years later elsewhere who left for the same reason." Then moved into an apprenticeship with a butchers, 2008 recession hit, let go, went self employed into the jewellery trade, now full time with that for over 14 years. | |||

"I was 10 when I used to help out on the milkmans round back in the days before the stuff contained preservatives and came in plastic bottles, and of course before HSE were around to poker their noses in to prevent you having fun." I guess all those workers whose lives have been distroyed through accidents in the work place really miss the "fun" of being mangled, crushed and mutilated by some machine, truck, explosion... | |||

"I was about 14 or 15 I think. Saturday evening in a chippie cleaning all the glass windows and trays/grates inside the display cases. Were you paid in scraps ?" Not far off I think I earned about £4 for the 3 hours work but as they had a wet fish counter too, I often got fresh crabs to take home too. | |||
