Weekend work from the age of 15 - Mucked out stables and cleaned up for the princely sum of £2 an hour. Then over the summer holidays I picked fruit. Was back breaking hard work but it made sure I stayed in school as I knew I never wanted to do that kind of job forever!

Roguing. Not a great job - most people lasted a day at most.

I read that as voguing! Is it like thinning out or something?

More or less.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguing

The only good thing about it was that I saved up the cash for an electric guitar

this is of course not counting my paper round.

Saturday job (then summer holiday job) in Tesco Hone n' Wear. I was sixteen. For some reason I got to re-paint the store, bit by bit. Magnolia.

I stole (well, they were chucking it out) a five foot high fibreglass 'model' of a Heinz Salad Cream bottle, thinking that this would make a great conversation starter and, thus, I would have sex with lots of girls. I've never quite understood why it didn't work
