First Saturday job saw me getting the grand total of £1.95 per hour. Scary! Back in 1995 that was still only about 2/3 of a pint.

And my first salaried job was an evolution of that in about 1996, earning the princely sum of £8,000pa. I thought I was doing quite well for a fuckwit with no exams, quals or skills!!

£1 for the day at my Saturday job in 1985 but had all the Tipex thinner I could ever dream off. It was a rough decade ;-p

1992. £30 a week for 38 hours on the yts as a apprentice car mechanic. S*%ve labour even then and I had to get 2 buses a day out of that. Someone did say to me you'll never have as much money in your life to which I sniffed at. Never a truer word said.
