Grandad. Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 Pot washer at Quorn Country Hotel, got sacked because they wouldn't give me the shift off as I had a ticket for Leicester away to Chelsea in the League Cup, no chance I was missing that with over 20 friends. Shame really, was good money at the time, 16 and it was like £5.50 an hour which I think 7 years ago was really good money for a 16 year old.

StanSP Posted 2 September 2014 Share Posted 2 September 2014 If paper-rounds don't count then Saturday Host/Receptionist at Marshall Land Rover in Bedford. One of the easiest jobs ever. From 1pm to about 5pm I'd be keeping up with football scores and watching Gillette Soccer Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
