Laowai2? (UK)

I lived the rural life in the UK. My brother and I had "chores" from which we earned pocket money. Chopping firewood, feeding the chickens, collecting eggs, cutting the grass, etc. I also bred rabbits for sale to the local butcher. When I was 10 I helped the local milk delivery man deliver bottles of milk for a few pennies a day. When I reached the grand old age of 13 I could legally drive a tractor and worked on a local farm evenings, weekends and school holidays. I saved enough money to buy my first suit at age 16.
