Aged 15, working in a cotton mill, the only male on a spinning floor with 38 cackling harridans. 20 quid a week after tax.

I couldn't afford any more than that! :;):

I worked up to 80 hours a week and got about Â£60 cash and I done it for ages, then the hours got lighter, so I done my own jobs till god noses what time at night, then jacked the firm and went on my own at 21 and never looked back (only because I'm scared too)
