He can use the money to get a haircut?

Bloody plumbers on his slippers though.

It's a bit below minimum wage isn't it?

Better than the 50p I used to get for washing my parents cars!

A little gesture can go a long way. Imagine it may be a talking point at the next social event the parents go to and possibly lead to more work for the spark on the glowing review/recommendation.

Counting sockets!.....he’s already better than my labourer!....

When I was about 6-7 sort of age I lived in a police house next to the (small town) station as my dad was a local bobby. Happened that the station got a refurb that coincided with my summer holidays, so every day I tagged along with the chippy who was running the job for the contractor. I must have bugged the hell out of them all. After a couple of weeks, on payday Friday he turned up with the old style cash wages packet for me, with 50p in it, claiming that he'd insisted to the office I get paid. And I've still got that pay packet to this day.

Likewise, similar period of time we got gas installed - and so out I went in the trench with them attempting to use a pneumatic road drill that was bigger than I was. This would have been late 70's, no way it would happen today!!

Sounds like my own childhood, but I got a slap in lieu of pay - the old "that's for nothing, do something and you'll get another" school of training ?

Much the same here... 5 or 6 year old... my neighbour was a butcher.

I couldn’t catch the pigs, but my granny had a fat pug......

Reminds me of a funny but definitely NSFW-contains-adult-language joke..

You could have been really useful running cables under suspended floors....
