Reminds me of negotiating my first proper wage when I was 17 in 1995, my boss said I'm putting you on £75.00 a week and I said wow thanks.
I should have pushed for £80.00
You were rich! I started on £19 a week in 1977.
TJ will be along to tell you he started on 3 groats and a loaf of bread in 1878..
3 groats AND a loaf of bread.
That was on a good week of 8 days before the Julian calander was introduced by Ceasar.
I remember Hadrian coming over to our town and building a bloody wall across the country to keep out the heathens in the north - sounds familiar.
He kept the wages so low we had to join a theatre company that showed us how to ask for a pay rise. Unfortunately it all ended in tears and we all had to work on the ships. Fortunately Arthur and Maggie came along and closed all the industry and I took up tiling - never looked back - money falling out of every pouch, stotties on the table every night and friends all over Europe telling me not to use exclamation marks.
how to pay, they gave me kick your a.s, up to 23 years.
Then, I got married.
And still kicking in a.s
