victormh   10 #33 Posted June 21, 2013 Left School at 1957 (aged 17) summer term end, and after holiday started as trainee accountant/auditor at Hubert Smith and Company, Campo Lane - Monday to Friday 9-00am to 5-30pm and Saturday 9-00am to 12-30pm - British Pounds - 2-10 per week - less bus fares from Swallownest to Pond Street and back each working day.

At that time, aged 19 wages were British Pounds 7-10 per week. Then the working week hours dropped to 40. Moved onto better things in January 1963 at starting wage of British Pounds 22-25 per week plus a good car allowance and company paid 2 bedroom flat in residential area of Oldham. Left Swallownest in 1966 for Driffield, East Yorkshire, the moved business's to Malaysia 2006 Still go to my office and also factory 6 days a week at age 73 now - bugger retirement - it would be so damn boring Grey Eminence - Subang Jaya - Selangor D.E. - Malaysia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

stropalottle   10 #35 Posted June 21, 2013 Paper round in Hillsborough 1981 aged 13 £2.25 a week for 6 evenings and an extra 50p for turning up in a morning just in case the morning deliveries weren't covered! Also worked in paper shop Sundays 6-10am for an extra £2.00 and my mum brought me a cooked breakfast in on a plate half way through. When I was at college 1984 -1986, worked at K Shoes on Pinstone Street on Saturdays for £9.25 a day plus commission (but never got much as most senior staff served first so I was bottom of the pile).
