P.O. Box DE1 0NQ

Petrol pump attendant aged 15 (illegal now) I worked during the school holidays 1-6pm. It was an overnight stay for truckers and also had a breakers yard & Café.

Filling wagons with 40 gallons of diesel in both tanks when it's freezing cold and the stop on mechanism is fucked is not a good experience.

Mind you I got paid £22 a week, happy days

You had a photocopier? Wow! I remember the Roneo printer. I had to type up the stencils and ink the roller. I also did a stint on a doll's eye switchboard. I was taught word processing on a Wang and used to send telex messages to America.
