Co-op on Mauldeth Road West from being 14 to 17. An hour after school and all day Saturday £10.80, when I quit school I worked there full-time for a while but was paid cash in hand. £29 a week if I put a full week in, no tax. When I started a 'proper job' we got a cheque for £39 second day we were there which I thought was decent money until someone told me we were being paid 2 weeks in advance.

Saturday job at Haughey's Bakery in Edgeley. This was in the mid - late eighties. Can't remember what I earned but the honeybuns were lovely.

Funnily enough I'm just sat in the Corn Exchange having something to eat and my mum used to have a cafe/restaurant in there. Used to work there on a Saturday and make butties during the school holidays. Mike Summerbee was one of our regular customers.
Think I got a fiver a day.

I had an egg round from 77-79 aged 14 to 16.
I made 6p on every dozen sold. Made about £3 a week which was a Wednesday and Thursday night.
