Nintendogamer - I would recommend trying to get a job in Homebase if there is one near you. Either that or B & Q. I worked in Homebase for 6 and a half years after I turned 16 and it was a really good time.
Pay: about £3.30 per hour for all workers under the age of 18, I think.
Hours: To start with you can probably get two nights a week (5.30 - 9.30 or 6 - 10) and a Saturday shift (9-6). After you have been there for a few months you can start asking for different shifts.
Homebase take on a lot of part time staff aging from 16 +, although because you are 16 you will not be able to operate some things, i.e. Board cutting machine. But there are loads of things that you can do.
When I was there we did not really have a department so we would work in all the departments on different days. So one day you will be dealing with all the paint, then the next time you could be working in the home wear section. You learn a lot of practical stuff and each day can be different from the days before. You get to meet loads of new people and it will turn you into a man! (because you will be required to lift a lot of heavy stuff.). At times it could be hard having to lift a lot of stuff, but I have never regretted working there.
give it a shot, send in a letter asking for a position, or drop in and ask for an application form.
