Tony Jones Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Mostly I've stayed on the ground! Bank clerk, shop assistant, factory worker, trainee teacher (failed), garage receptionist, civil servant, sales rep, shopfitter .... and somehow I always knew how to run the outfit better then the people who did! When I first told my parents I was going into the ministry, their response was "At last he'll have a boss he doesn't argue with!" Not strictly true, but I saw their point.

HymerVan Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 As a student I had a variety of jobs including :- Paper Boy , Porter In Littlewoods Labouring in:- Fish Processors, Cold store, Timber Yard, Market Garden, Steel Pressing Mill, Removal Company. I also worked as a salesman in C&As menswear and in Jackson the Tailor and as a bar-cellarman in Bermondsey and my last job before "real work" was as an unqualified paralegal in a Canadian Attorneys Office. Perhaps the most interesting job (which I did for six months) was as an auxiliary nurse in an Orthopedic Operating Theatre. There my duties included holding and supporting limbs just before they were sawed off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 My best job? As a student working as assistant gardener for Hastings parks and gardens department during the summer. Loved working on the gardens - in the sun - just a pair of shorts - making the place look truly brilliant! Rolled up for work on my Norton Navigator. I thought at the time "life just does not get better than this!" and on reflection - I was absolutely right. And chatting up the girls was truly an occupational hazard. You did not have to try - it just happened. I can honestly say the local chemists and I were nearly on first name terms and after a week or two I actually declined a few offers as i was literally sh@gged out. Could someone PLEASE bring back the 1960's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
