Oddest of the Odd ... My SECOND job offer!

So, like all good "compulsive collectors", I've spent the Christmas break working on my increasingly mammoth archive. This has involved writing a couple of new applications for my Mac (using Go/Automator) and uploading a whole host of things to the Internet Archive.

I then came across this;


This is the "offer" letter for my SECOND ever job. My first ever job was working from 6 am to 3 pm at a family butcher's just across the road from where I lived at the time. Yes. I was a "butcher's boy" and had a bike with a large basket of meat at the front! Those were the days ...

My job at the butchers paid a grand total of £5 for the day, plus I got a cut of meat. 

This made the £1.92 an hour, plus 21p "Reading weighting", look very attractive indeed!
