i know what you're saying Guinness, i work in a secondhand bookshop, i'm just in the background of it now, teaching and mentoring other trainees, i now have retail experience, cash handling, till work, coffee shop experience, mentoring and customer service experience, all thanx to what started off as 4 weeks unpaid work
