Emily, Food Courier Smashing my phone in the pouring rain was the best thing that ever happened to me. 😶 I’m Liam, 22. I live in Bristol. I work as a food courier on an e-bike. Heatwaves, rain, snow — I’m out there pedalling with a massive square backpack. I make about £3 to £4 per delivery. To survive and pay for my box-room, I have to work 12 hours a day, zero days off.

My hands were shaking so badly I could barely type my account number in. When the notification popped up confirming the £28k deposit, I literally collapsed on the floor of my tiny room and just lay there for an hour. The next day I walked into the Apple Store and bought a brand-new iPhone. In cash. No finance, no contracts. Then I went to the supermarket and bought real food — actual meat, fresh veg.
