I did paper rounds and a summer holiday stint at the local co-op factory but my first full time job was in 1971 as an apprentice compositor at one of the large printing firms in my local area (10 mile train journey each way every day).
The weekly pay was £7.53. That number has stuck in my head all these years.
Out of that I was made to give my mum £2 ffs for my "keep".
The other mandatory deduction, straight from my gross weekly pay, which really pissed me off, was 25p to the union (National Graphical Association).
