1955 Apprentice £1 16s a week which has annoyed me for years thinking 10 3/4d an hour!!
Only just twigged it was 44 hr week so 9 3/4d an hour.

Not sure what year I was getting that. Could have been when I was more productive turning out parts for the Vauxhall production track to keep the conveyors going.Are you sure about this one Baz? 10 years later, a JIB apprentice Electrician was on 15p an hour £6 per week
Vauxhall were quite good payers in those days. I remember £1.2.6d a week was paying my H.P. on a B.S.A. C15 Trials which drove me mad with its energy transfer ignition system.

1962, I started as an engineering apprentice at £2 & ten shillings, for a forty hour week (a little over one shilling an hour). The lads who were 'out of their time' were on somewhere near £20.
