His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You are lucky, Ron,” he said. “For every boy with a job these days, theres a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with

Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.19By saying “For every boy with a job thes
