What was your worst job and what did you learn from it?
I once spent a 12 hours a day for a week painting a 30 foot mural in the snooker room of a friend of my parent's house. I got paid a measly £150 and when I asked for the £80 for the paint, the bloke told me he'd assumed it was included in my price and he wasn't willing to pay it. I learnt to always be clear about things and never work with tight-arsed wholesale fruit and veg millionaires.
