Not really Jayfax, all my sisters went straight into work on leaving school, mostly into Nursing College in Dundee and then into hospitals. We did it for cash in holidays as parents in those days did not supply an excess of pocket money. There was little in the way of unemployment benefits, very few people were unemployed in my village. We had wood boats coming coming into out little harbour regularly, sometimes two at a time with a third waiting out in the Tay. The village also had a jute mill and a jute factory ( different processes). Total population of Tayport was less than 3000 people, Man , woman and child.
