« on: April 23, 2011, 07:59:20 pm »
I worked in my local glass making factory on my work experience programme. Then when I left school I worked for Fine Fayre supermarkets picking up about £18 a week. Stayed there for a year then uped my income big time to go and work in a sheet metal factory where I was taking home £70 a week!!!
