    My weekend job at school was at Sainsbury's in Woolwich. Thursday night and all day Saturday paid the princely sum of £8.43.

    My first proper job in 1976 was as a trainee salesman for a staionery company in Bermondsey. Was paid weekly in cash and I took home about £26 per week. Out of that came train fares of £3.50 per week and £5 housekeeping. The rest paid for footy away days, Concerts, beer and clothes. Even managed to save for holidays to Spain. Beer was only 40p per pint and we used to get proper winters...Those were the days

    Yeah, I'm bloody good at is as well. Weird sport to play but I was very close to my Grandad and it's the only thing I could do to be able to do something with him, had a natural talent for it. It's not as much of an old man's sport as most people think.
