Did you have a Saturday job when very young and was was it

I was actually working on a women's surgical ward when 2 months short of my 16th birthday. Talk about being thrown in at the deep end !
It was hard, heavy work while training---all for £3 a week ( 1956 ) and the discipline with matron in charge was something that nobody would put up with today.

I had a Saturday job in our local Co-op when it was a proper department store. I was in ladies lingerie (the manageress knew my parents and went our church) and loved it. I had a holiday job there one Christmas and worked on the jewellery and clocks counter, right between the two main doors - quite chilly! Loved it though and the £3 a Saturday paid for my driving lessons!

Most of us benefited greatly from dipping our toes into the working world while we were still at school and probably left school a bit clearer about what we did - or more importantly didn’t - want to do. Certainly we were under no illusions about how hard working life could be. We were most definitely not snowflakes!

I had a Saturday job earning 10 bob behind a counter at Woolworths - until I knocked over a fire extinguisher. What a mess - I was shown the door.

I was a Saturday girl in Boots, and loved every minute. I would still love to do it- do they have Saturday gn’s?
