Lucky you werent there in 85I was YTS in 82. £25/week I think, £15 went to mum for keep. At least it went to £30 when I turned 17.
Went onto an estate for the second of my 2 pre college years on AWB rates which was far better. There were 10 or 12 of us on about 2000 acres.
Some bigwig firm advised them to set up a bonus scheme for the staff. They set a minimum yield for each of the arable crops, with so many £’s per cwt/acre above that figure. The bonus was to be paid in 2 instalments, 2/3 of the predicted yield after harvest, the other 1/3 once everything was sold and yields known. As the student I was only to get the first instalment.
I don’t remember what sort of harvest it was in 84, but whoever set up the scheme clearly got their sums wrong as I walked away with a £1500 bonus!
Very small back seat!!Na, I passed driving test at 17 and progressed to a ford Capri , with obvious benefits .

Left school in May 85 and started working at home, £25 /week wages was the going rate according to father so as your earning a big wage he says we will pay you monthly £100 I agreed and it was only after 6 months I realised the auld bugger was taking the rise and savings himself 4 weeks wages over the 12 months, but I like to think it's evened its self up since
