wellinghallI've just come across my first payslip. It was for one week's shepherding work, week ending 26 April 1981. £33.50. I was (just) fifteen at the time.
I had done work for my father (although on a semi-formal basis) before that; but that was all cash in hand.
In the summer of 1981, I started work as a warden at the local stately house. £1.25 an hour. Sundays were double time, and bank holidays £2.50 bonus (I think; or the other way around). My first work there was over one of the May bank holiday weekends, which netted a tidy little sum. I continued working there in the holidays until 1987.
What was your first job?
