Ian McMillan: Join in my Jolly Journey (for just £25.00)
In these hard times freelance people like me are looking for new ways to make a bit of cash; having discarded the idea of being a George Clooney Barnsley Lookalike (in certain lights only), a naked Yorkshire butler (in certain lights only) and a ballet dancer (in certain tights only) I’ve hit upon the idea of a Young Ian McMillan minibus tour, visiting significant places from my childhood.

Ian McMillan: The day tea bags struck terror into my heart
One of my first jobs was as a labourer at the factory or Mr W and Mr F. My tasks were simple: I had to put things on a conveyor belt to get spray-painted and then take them off again. I had to put the finished items into boxes and load them up on pallets. I had to get rid of the rubbish and put it into skips. Each day was full of simple tasks which suited me because I’m a simple man.
