I know it sounds obvious, but milk round? How you do that as a kid?

Up at 4 45 Monday to Saturday, hang on the back and prep crates , drop off street at a time , double on saturday mornings , finish at 0800 toast slices straight into school at 0900 , all for the princely sum of 20 a week! 

I was rapid though, won the interschool x country at 13 with a time of 26 mins dead over 4 miles, my mams proudest moments ever ! 

absolutely raped the running club 16 year olds round the course ha ha

The spades down Lewisham used to spend every Saturday dragging young white lads, who were silly enough to be out alone, down alleyways and nicking all their clobber in the casual era! Lol

I don’t think I did, just the mention of the casual era brought back that memory.

I have re-read what I wrote and I don’t beleive it contains anything you could call “race hate”?

Anyway.........dry your eyes and carry on

Of course not, how silly of me........how could I possibly think such a thing?

Have not read the whole thing but saw the milk round threads and thought I'd add my two pence worth as I also had a milk round I started at the age of 12' 4.30 am start Saturday and Sunday for £2.50 which might not sound like lots but I could go and watch a  punk group at the lacarno in Bristol, and yes I could get in to concerts and travel on my own aged 12 as I was a street rat, could,nt imaging the outcry today, also  had another job before that which I started when I was 7/8 sweeping the sawdust up on the butchers floor after school for the princely sum of a thrupenny bit, regarding clothing I,m a staunch charity shop customer so most of my cloth,s cost less than £3 so don't care if they fail in a few days but usually they are fine other clothing outlets for me are army surplus and that's it, I live a very frugal life as i don't like being tied to work and value my free time more than a designer label or flash car
