I finished my A levels and started a summer job at 06:00 next day! It was a labouring job in a factory making extruded and moulded plastic products. Things like curtain tracks, name badges, ashtrays, car radiator overflow pipes etc. Duties included packing products coming out of machines and unloading delivery trucks. The factory had been stuck up against a railway viaduct so when the trucks backed up, there was no room to get a fork lift truck in. 2 of us would manually unload 20 tonnes of plastic granules in 25 kg sacks, 2 or 3 sacks at a time, walk up a metal fire escape and then about 50 metres along the upper floor of the factory to the storage area. You soon get fit walking upstairs with 75 kgs on your shoulders. You can also bugger up your back pretty quickly if you trip when doing so. H & S wouldn't allow it these days ... (Quite rightly!)
