You young man are a disgrace to people everywhere. When I was your age I worked a 90 hour week for a half penny. Those were the days when youngsters respected the elderly.
Um.
I started work in a bottle factory. It was my job to stick labels on each of the bottles which went down the production line. Of course I was a lot quicker with my hands in those days.
It was along the production line that I met my first husband Pete. We spent many enjoyable weeks together before he got his tie stuck in the conveyor belt and made into three thousand bottles.
