    Re: Autumn Statement 2013: Britain can no longer afford welfare state, warns Osborne

    Haha that wouldn't have been difficult for me as I started on £6.00 per week in 1972 (which I thought was a fortune after my 50p a week pocket money)

      I was on a YTS and earned £27.50 a week - in the 80's.... Then jumped to over £150pw which was loads back then!! In them days you could buy a quarter of sherbet pips and a can of pop and a bag of Smiths/Walkers - and get 2 1/2p back from your 50p weekly pocket money (pre YTS)!!

      Nuts!!

        I remember quitting Garfunkels as a commis chef at 11am on a Monday and went across the road to a Forte hotel and started as a chef de partie (double pay) at 1pm after a quick pint cum informal interview!! Those were the days......

          Smith's Crisps how could I not forget them, my last School was right next door to the factory in Portchester and the disgusting smell of the fat out of the chimney used to come right into the classroom.

              When Gold isn't enough, there is SA Gold! New to the forum and find the UE route a bit scary? Take a look at my diary here and judge for yourself. I am now saving the money each month that was making little difference to the balance and not a bit of difference to my credit file as a result of finding AAD.
