    £5k per year at Warburton's bakery in Bolton. Some interesting football connections..

    my boss was the son of Jimmy Armfield

    Warburtons owned Bolton Wanderers - used to see then boss Phil Neal at the factory - all the time as he was brought in to be toasted by the Warburton family as things were going wrong.

    Working on the end of a conveyor belt, taking bread tins off & stacking them on pallets 9 hours a day, 6 days a week was former Man Utd, Man City, Newcastle & Wakes forward Wyn Davies.

  • OaksterOakster
    I did - not sure which one they use today - i knew them all - it was a very, old fashioned Northern company in its management style - not much had changed since the 19th century.....you wouldn't have found management consultants, blue skies thinking or team building exercises in that place back then. The bakers really did spend their lunch breaks taking their whippets (who had been locked up in the car all morning) for a walk.
