Going to work

Worked helping with hay making. Worked in butchers shop on Saturday morning at 14. Once you left you left that circle of friends. Didn't have any one particular person as a best friend.

"People in town wanted you, like when I was working on the Saturday morning the butcher was dying for me to be 15 so that I could leave school so he could take me on and get me on full time because he was short handed"
