First proper summer job –
Sorting odd shoes at McKenzie clothing in their warehouse in Pudding Char in Newcastle.
They had this huge upper level of the warehouse that had odd returned shoes in it, I spent a few weeks sorting them into sizes so they could be sold at their shops, which were shutting down, bakrupt and baliffs.
I was told near the end of the matching just to get them as close as possible – so 10s and 11s, 9 and 8s odd pairs, and then eventually just put them together.
I then helped shut down shops around the country, driving around, uninsured, in one of the managers cars to Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham.
Getting chased by the baliffs at one store, manchester I think.
The van with all the stuff vanishing on route to their central warehouse to reappear lighter, as they hid stuff from the ballifs.
I was told the owners brother owned foot locker and wouldn’t bail him out.
