The Garden of Eden in Beautiful North Wales

My first job was on a farm, bringing the cows in for milking, feeding the other animals, mucking out. Using various machines including driving tractors & trailers, watching and often helping new life enter the world and shooting the vermin with shotguns. Harvesting was a great time, hard work but you'd get a proper Farm Lunch, including a bottle of Forest Brown Ale*.

I got paid occasionally, fed regularly and learned so much about life... and death and I loved it. Every child should try it, the freedom is fantastic. Infact, it should be compulsory!

P.S. Going back to the * mark, any people that remember Forest Brown Ale will understand that many moons have passed since then! I was 6 or 7 years old and about 4 n' a half foot high... I was an adult in a boys body and treated accordingly.

Those were the best days of my life... sure there's a song there somewhere... having said that, I would go home and listen to radio Luxembourg!

I ran end of term parties for 6th form students. Started when I was in 6th form with my school, rented a venue, brought in my own dj and door staff, got the tickets printed and sold them all myself... Made a decent return so set about doing this across a number of schools near where I lived. Discovered for very little outlay I could make good money and could repeat 3 times each year... Summer, Christmas and valentines

Ha!

I was 15 and resisting all attempts to get me to work when my parents found a weekend job in a florists at a dreadful rate.

Got lucky with a friend and ended up working in the centre-manager's office at the newly opened Clarks Village, a factory-shopping outlet.

This paid an adult wage and time-a-half on Bank Hols.

Apart from two of the older guys who worked there it was a good first job. There was an old Communist I used to work with and one of his maxims was "The bigger the car the bigger the cunt."
