When I wasn’t in school or working, spent it in the pub, on LP’s and loon pants

The tragedy was that before doing my A levels in 1972, I was working at Sainsbury’s London Road, Friday night and Saturdays (Butchers dept) and at the Academy Cinema, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday nights, late shows Saturdays, and was clearing about £50 a week.

First job as a trainee QS for Rice & Son Ltd (Gloucester Place) my salary was £728 pa or £14 a week. Wouldn’t even pay for a single Albion PPV now.
