My first ever Pay packet was £3 16s 8d
just sayin like.
Edit; for 40hrs and the arl lady to £2.50... made all my sarnies and would sub me 10 bob of it back on Thurs and never take it when I offered it back on Friday...you offered without me asking and it's the thought that counts.
That £2.50 stayed £2.50 even when I was getting £20.00
Mars eh

Loved being paid cash weekly, if skint by Monday only 3 days to wait. My first wage packet in 1976 was £20 but £16.50 after stopages so we must have paid a fair bit of tax back then?

Always loved the smell of coal tar soap. Banned now because of its alleged carcinogenic properties. Even though you'd have to eat a bar a day to do yourself any harm.
Cheers, that's why, I not paid and tax or NI for 32 years even though I've worked

I was a regular at Eric’s in those days but the B52s on that list was a stand out night,absolutely brilliant.
I had a pack the weekend so still out there, the peanut and coconut ones were the one's I didn't like but they took them out, the round flat ones were my fave
