Mine was £32 I think, so at last I've found someone on here who's older than me
(apart from kev of course)
Funny thing is I went on actually to work in the dole office for a while and my income didn't seem to go up in the least

About 3 months into mt YOP scheme, I got a job at British Steel. My first weekly pay packet was 104 quid!! 4 times more than the scheme money, yet I still only gave me Mam 15 bar! :uhoh:

And what did you do with the rest, spend it on beer woman and song, or waste it?
