Thanks for making my day start on a downer!
I often don't remember what I did yesterday, but I can remember helping to club dinosaurs to death... :D

When I stopped working at 46 I thought... "how did I manage to do all the things I did and work as well?" since then I still have more projects to finish than I started with... ;D

Remember when you drove into a petrol station, over a bell cable and some spotty little oik came out to fill your tank while another might have asked if you wanted your oil or tyre pressures checked?

That was my first part-time job at age 14, when we had just gone decimal and 4-star was 36 pence a gallon!

If anybody didn't want their green shield stamps they got shared out at the end of the shift between the cashier and us spotty little oiks. Talk about perks.
