This comes from the bbc magazine on their website.
I couldnt believe that kids getting nearly £1500 a year. That equals £15 a week spending money. I used to get £2 a week. Best was i got a paper round paying £2 a week and thought im going to be rich i'll have £4. My dad when i told him he said well that saves me £2 a week then!! I didnt get spending money again after i started doing the papers. Told him it wasnt fair and he said you are earning now so why should i give you spending money! One way to get an extra pint up at the club!! Anyway what do you give the kids if you have any and what spending money did you get. Do you think its a bit much though. |
£1.476 over 52 weeks actually works out at £28.38 per week, so its worse than you think!
