Me too. I got a job sweeping up in a machine shop when I was a teenager but I was promised a thumping if I didn't take betting slips, so I left at lunchtime. I went to another factory and was driving a fork lift truck in a warehouse by 3 pm. that was brilliant. No test, nothing.

A student grant paid for my Higher education. Unlike today, where graduates, including my own children, start their working lives in debt. And before anyone tells me Labour introduced tuition fees, I don't count the Blairite quasi - Thatcherism as true Labour.

Also, public services were not decimated - still had decent parks, health not rationed, decent welfare and further/higher education paid for by state!

I remember the job choice too, as a young nurse, I could work anywhere. And the training was paid, and accommodation was subsidised.
