I was expelled from school at 15, sang all the way home, and had a Job the next day, which was a 44-hour week. Yes, we used to work Saturday mornings!!!
I found another Job that paid 4 pounds 10 shillings a week, and we did some overtime bringing up to 48 hrs a week and we always thought we were lucky to have a Job This was 1959
I eventually retired at 55 after paying 11% of my Income into my own Superannuation, and the Company also paid in for the 40 years of my working Life There was no such thing as 8 to 5, Monday to Frida;y that was just the starting point I was on a salary no Paid overtime just time off I had a sign over my desk they expect us to Fly Like eagles and then make us work for a Bunch of Turkeys.
Was it worth it? Yes, since retiring, I have visited all of Europe I am now up to 85 countries I am 84 years old and Visiting England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales a 21 day tour with 21 days in London How can I afford this? Easy, Great superannuation Paid for By being a Loyal and eager worker Yes I was a war baby
