Hi all , I was reading a bit on here and it comes to mind .
Bob a Job Week , taught me that if you are mindful and put lots of time and effort , you can turn a dollar pretty easily , from selling Rhubarb on a Sunday morning , washing cars , doing odd jobs , when young , even singing in church choir for money , doing well 1 a service 25 pence for a wedding , till I got caught reading a COMMANDO war book in the song book and not singing . Vicar said solo or do not come back , so end of my professional singing carreer . Annoying thing is that I got confirmed at 12 and spent time doing that for no return now.
Point is from doing Bob a Job I now look for opportunities to make a bob or 2 .
So the things you get up to in your youth tend to stay with you for life . Also the days I was brought up in was shall I say East End living , which you might say was not totally honest way. Manors and codes of conduct was very important , as much as the football team you supported (which I did not . Another story there.
Like national service it can do you good and also some bad .
Does not mean I am a bad person but more like a trotters dealer and wheeler .
Some of the things I did did not work quite right as I am not a millionaire.
Bob
