When I was at school I worked on the pick'n'mix counter in Woolies and absolutely loved it... specially stocking up after a busy day

Yes mine was in the newsagents at the top of our road - Forbouys. I’d wanted to work there from a little girl - weighing out sweets and pressing the till

I bet you ate/stole more sweets than you sold.

I worked at what was John Barnes on Finchley Road from the age of 15 and 3 months until I was 16, then I moved to John Lewis on Oxford Street, on the fashion department. At the time John Lewis only stayed open until 1pm, but the weekend that decimalisation in 1971 we worked all over the weekend to change the price tags.

Our children have worked at W H Smiths when they were 16, which is where I work now.

Melvin helped with a milk round.
