I did a couple of part-time jobs while a student. One was in a linen factory, and working in the sorting bay could be grim at times because some of the towels had been used to wipe all sorts of horrible stuff up before being sent to be laundered. Also worked in a betting shop briefly.
I vaguely remembered Eng Lit lessons when I was a teenager analysing novels we were supposed to read, but my memory may be faulty. Even though I've always enjoyed reading (fiction and non-fiction) I had no interest in taking English at A-level or degree level.
My mum started to teach me to read at age 4 and I always loved books, but didn't enjoy analysing them in English Lit lessons. I usually have a couple of books on the go and own over 1600.

The Beano, and I occasionally read Dandy.
Apparently the Beano has changed over the years to be less offensive (Fatty and Spotty have been renamed, for instance), but I'm not sure kids need coddling like that. Unless kids have become a different species to when I grew up in the 70s, then...
Roy Clarke did a brilliant job with those episodes, with the right balance of comedy and pathos. My favourite line is where Clegg says "Maybe that's what paradise is, somewhere that the sun doesn't come up till you're ready"
At the end of the episode Ros goes back to Edie's house and besides her family there's another woman who comes out to greet her. Does anyone know who she is meant to be?
