Discounting shit jobs while at school or college (Tesco trolley boy), first proper job was working in the accounts dept of Caledonian Airways at Gatwick. I loved it, we spent most the time pissing around playing cards or battleships, went to the pub most lunchtimes and went out in the evenings and always had great parties. Came out of it with some good mates and great memories. Still miss the place.
