Answer 10

I was 15 years old (doctored my BOOK OF LIFE - as you had to be 16 years old to work) - at Pick n Pay as a packer, I got a total of R89.00 for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday (after school)

I used the money to go on a FAT JOL to Masquerades in Johannesburg - caught the last bus there and then caught a taxi home - I drank about 20 beers, bought cigarettes, a lekker boerie roll outside the club and still came home with R25.00 - Hey how I long for those times....
