I always wanted to do journalism, was veered away from it though. Still managed a week at the Shields Gazette.Wanted to do journalism but it was too late by the time I emailed the sports desk at the echo.
I did it at Marksys in Dalton Park, 16 years ago. According to my mate who worked there for 10 years some of them are still there and have moved on to management..
I enjoyed it to be honest. Me and the lad who I was in with are still best friends now. As we were beforehand. Was a good laugh. If I could earn what I do now, stacking shelves and putting things on a rack.. I’d do it again in a heartbeat as I imagine he would.
As for school I did three days at Ryhope CofE primary. Supposed to be a week but caught glandular fever.
