Had a paper round from 13-18, was a greedy **** and had 4 rounds.
First proper job was Asda ADC Washington, was there for 6 years, tedious but, some good laughs in there

I've worked in the industry and the numbers involved are phenomenal. The blatant wastage on equipment/materials was insane. The wages were canny mind, unfortunately the wastage must have been catching. :lol:

Talking of wastage. I worked for an engineering company in Scotland. We fabricated offshore structures for fmc, for example, you can buy a bag of 100 m6 crush washers for a few quid. We had to use their suppliers and the same crush washers were £6.00 each.

Something I've always wondered about that. Do you get training on incompetency, and how to fuck up basic orders? ;)

I know of one other lad who posts on here the same tome I was there and others have said they worked there at some point, but I’m unsure about which years.

It was like being out, but at work.

DHSS Longbenton - 1984.

Tail end of a national strike and the mainframe computers were f@@ked. 3 months of hand-writing pension giros. Boring doesn't begin to describe it.

Ended up at Child Benefit in Washington (Emerson House) - full of lovely young filing clerks and predatory, older women (what would be known these days as a MILF). Christmas parties were the thing of legend - first time I'd ever seen stockings and suspenders in real life.

apart from paper rounds and helping me uncle with decorating now and again, my first proper employment was BT at Claypath in Durham giving out directory enquiries, this was mid 90s with me being mid 20's, was a canny number and altho I had a lass there was of course fanny on tap, was there just over a year and left to join one2one at Doxford in 98 I think it was, went on secondment floorwalking in a new call centre near Barnsley and had the time of me life for about a year until they decided they wanted me back on the phones, where I promptly got meself sacked. Happy memories from that time.
