    Oh yes indeed.

    Although I had the job of sorting out the rounds for others and covering for people who were "ill and couldn't come in" or "they had to stay with their nan who lives in japan". I got paid around £3.50 - £4ph which for a kid werent bad but it was Sundays, other days were £2.50 - £3ph.

    When I said I was gonna leave they couldnt find anyone to replace me so put my wages up another 50p an hour...I left 2 weeks later <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"&gt;

    You can get a proper job when you're 15. I know people who work in high street shops, supermarkets and cafes who are 15.

    I only gave up my paper round at the beginning of the year.

    hell it kept me fit, and i woz alright, me my walkman and a big heavy bag of papers.

    mind u, it got bloody freezin sometimes, and yeah the pay woz extortionate (10 quid a week for 5 mornins).

    but a word of advice, dont try and juggle paper round, school, part time job and girlfreind.

    f*cked me up big time <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif"&gt;

    ConfusedMale:

    Extortainate pay??

    If urs sounds bad, take a look at mine, i cut mine down cause it was too much a morning round at 6am and a evening.

    Now I do 31 papers 5 days, and 36 on Saturdays, for a measly £8.

    The value of one days papers is more than my weeks wage!! 31X0.32=9.91. £1.92 more than wage

    I use to do mornings and evenings monday to saturday AND sundays, for £7.50!

    But I fcuked that off to go to another newsagent, just monday to saturday morning and evenings for a tenner!

    But weren't Sunday rounds always hell? Cos 'The Independant' and 'The Times' are about six inches thick and all the houses have those really thin post flaps(or whatever you call them).

    We used to have to get up, half an hour before we went to bed & lick road clean wit tongue. We'd work 24 hour down t'mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home our mum & dad would thrash us with broken bottles............if we were lucky!!!

    We used to get up at 10PM 'alf an hour before we went to bed. Drink a cup of sulphric acid, work 29 hours a day and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got back our dad would kill us and dance around on our grace singing halleujah!

    I couldn't have made this stuff up if I'd tried. Foul-mouthed at the age of 14, even more foul-mouthed now. :p
