Picked potatoes as a teen. I worked in Campbells soup factory -big Hob nailed boots and hairnet (what a sight). Bakery (ate most of the cakes). D-mac Compter assembly Hillington Park Estates. Lastly Gillette's in Hillington Penilee before leaving for Canada 1967. Worked since I was 15 to help support the family.Things were different then.

Had many jobs in Glasgow. Gray Dunns MacDonalds Biscuits. Ever Ready. Electric Shavers, Remington Rand. Massey's grocers, Co-op Shoe repairs. I also left school at 15. Didn't have much choice. It was expected of you in those days.
