Ms Macbeth Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I lived in Dundee when I was young, but my memories are very similar to others of my age group here. Saturday job at 15 in 1961 in the Meadow Dairy (like the Maypole but even cheaper ) 15/- (75p) We wore white nylon overalls that always looked mucky and smelt of bacon no matter how much we washed them. Then junior clerkess for Dundee corporation in 1962 - £16 a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs grissom Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 B & C Co Op Resteraunt Angel St 1972. Worked here for a short time after leaving school while waiting to start at college. Best part of job was doing the childrens party food and working downstairs on the cooked chicken counter, especially on early closing days when the bakery ladies would slip me a cream bun to go with my cuppa. Worst part was trundling a cabinet of hot food down to Suffolk Rd for the funeral teas. Totally embarrassed and hoping no one I knew saw me LOL. The other good thing was on Saturdays if there was any cooked chicken left at the end of the day, the boss would give it us to take home. I always went to the pictures with my friend after work, so if you ever sat in the ABC thinking you could smell Barbeque chicken you weren't imaging it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
