’90’s kid: I wanted to work in my local VHS rental shop. I was obsessed as a kid. I loved everything about it. Free posters every month, the thrill of new releases and even the smell of the place.

‘When I was young and before I understood how money works, I thought that when you become an adult that you could literally do anything you want and when you want. I knew that adults got a job when they left school but I honestly thought a job was a bit like pocket money. You tidied up and got a couple of £ for it. I can’t tell you how much of an anti climax it was when I discovered that being an adult did not involve weekly holidays and shopping trips.’
