Is the search difficult, Cat?


Yes mate, there isn't a lot out there for them. They may have to wait til 16 comes, for my boy that is next month.

No paper rounds or milkmen (and I did both)and people don'twant kids doing odd jobs.

At least he is looking though.

Simple supply and demand. If there's a large pool of workers available, then you can get away with paying bottom dollar


The bottom dollar is the minimum wage though, there is a vastly larger group of non immigrants than immigrants.

Unless you're talking about illegal cash in hand /slave labour it's a non starter.

Sporting Post on a Saturday , green headliner and black ink all over my hands by the end or the night .

Had to get into the workies first before Cardiff Echo , The Pink arrived into my spot later that evening . Punters were great local boozers too with me going around yelling Sporting Post .

Bought my Yellow Puch 49cc moped on the commission earned from selling that paper .
Was never in fear of threats or violence as a kid walking through them places . felt safe .

Now bar work seems to be the go to option for our youngsters on a Saturday night .

It seems like those jobs don’t really exist any more so they don’t need to.
