There are a few bits of information on this link to the Attendance and Inclusion section of the Council Website

Thanks for replies.

I don’t know what area you live in but would it be wise for a 13 year old girl to be walking around alone in the dark.?

Its only a bloody paper round!

Just out of interest what do paper boys and lasses get paid these days?

I used to have a morning round, an evening round, and 2 sunday rounds. I think I got £2.50 a week for morning round. £2.75 for evening round (which needed a bike), and £1 each for Sunday rounds. (I get more an hour now than I got a week as a kid:hihi:)

Yea i'm only 19 now but I get paid more an hour than I did a week doing the papers! I did 6 days a week and got a pound for each round! It was only a small round though.

And you're 19!! My god man/woman, tha't been robbed!

Mine was 20 years ago. (:gag:that's sounds like I'm old)

Actually funny the things that you remember. The reason I did 2 Sunday rounds was because carrying 20 papers in those paperboy bags meant I would topple over off my bike with one bag, so I did 2 rounds to counter balance, and carry one bag over each shoulder. Bloody crippled thanks to that.:hihi:
