1987 working for a bank in London.
£5100 a year with a London Allowance of £3000 a year. Digs with breakie provided for £50 a month and meal at night £1. Compared with my mates back home who were mostly YTS on £35 a week, I was loaded.
Had I stayed I'd probably be a millionaire now just like Del Boy.
Had some fun watching City with the London Branch of the supporters club. Used to be run by someone called Tina from memory. Good crack with some of the lads from that branch.
Only stayed 2 years but it was a good life experience and good money for an 18 year old at the time.
Apprentice Engineer Thomas Story's Portwood £12.50 a week. £2.00 to Mum pound a week for bus fare the rest was mine. Mind you season ticket was only £11 if I remember correct.
Haha, Howells radio on the estate, used to have a den in the grounds early 80s!My first job was at a factory next to the brewery in moss side using a fly press. Was getting paid 1 pound an hour. I say getting paid, I didn't get paid at all because I told the bloke in charge of me to fuck off and walked out on the second morning. Think the firm was called Howells electronics.
Good old YTS scheme £23:50 PW :+)
Patterncraft Plus in Portwood. £2.30 an hour making wallpaper sample booklets. It was so exciting.
I'm asking same question,"what happened next"?They had gorgeous purple long dresses with a slit right up the leg.
Ahhh
I can't say I share your view, but then again, I've never had to mop.
