I was an Electrical Apprentice at Chatham dockyard, I used to take home £9.50 a week so I dont know what the gross was, but I lived on bags of chips and gravy, lots of vinegar , a pint of milk and a game of cards. lets say that was about 1975. I used to give my mum a couple of quid and I used to get lots more than that back. It seems such a long time ago :Cheers:

My first legit job was working as a layer/cutter in a place called dreamland pmsl. We made quilts & sold other bedding.
It was around the same time decimal currency started. I got £6.35 a week flat rate, but could sometimes earn around £14 if I done piece work
But! When I was around 11 years old I used to work for 5 bob (25 pence) a day. Shovelling coal into paper bags. Stapelling them up, and delivering them to shops.
The place even got raided once when we were doing nightshift lmfao.
What kind of bloke would hire kids like me in them days ffs.
Still! I loved it
