My first job was a temporary one at a lampshade factory in 1959, for £2.54 a week they said I would be spot welding but it turned out to be bending little bits of wire U shape, to make little hands that were then spot welded to a figure on matchbox holders, thousands of them, they were for the Woolworth stores.
I left there after a few months then worked in a Brewery for 10 months
Then started training as a plant fitter.
Had many jobs in my 49 years of work, mostly as a mechanic, 10 years as head mechanic for our local ambulance service.
The best job "Retirement" and I consider I have worked hard for the state pension and any benefits I am entitled to.
Mick.
