XTreme Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 What a great Summer that was! I was in Swansea and married to my first wife! Working in the stores at Neath General Hospital Monday to Friday, and then working at a Petrol Station on Jersey Marine on the weekends! I had to do the two jobs because the waste of space first wife jacked her job in a week after we got married in February! But I did get a week away in June though.......unfortunately she was with me complaining all the fucking time! Anybody know where this pic was taken? So where were you? What were you doing? And what were you riding? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic weekly pay there was about £35per week, we were paid on how many bricks we could set in the kilns each week, we could meet the basic required amount by Wednesday easily, after that we were on bonus money. Not long after that photo was taken the NCB sold the brickwork to the Midland Brick Co who preceeded to close it down, I was transferred to Welbeck colliery, and my wages fell to £40 per week bring home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I was 17 years old and riding two things; a Suzuki GT250 and Debbie Jackson. She was my childhood sweetheart and I fancied her even at infants school………we ended up buying a place together when we were 21 and planning to get married. Then I fucked that up.

Tango Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I was in the third year of my apprenticeship. I had my Honda CD175, but chopped it in in August for an RD350B. I think I was earning around £20-25 a week. I had a girlfriend called Helen, but my mates called her Swan Vesta! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 1976 I was working at Nash of Cardiff as a HGV fitter I had been working for them for about 2 months and because of the nice weather me and a few mates decided to have a week or two away at Dawlish Warren, it was so nice and we were having so much fun we decided to stay a few more months. Came back to no job. At that time I had this bike for about 8 years Triumph T110 650. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
