CHILDREN got a taste of the world of work this week when they helped out their parents at a Darlington store.
The Asda supermarket in Whinbush Way invited children of staff to spend a day in the shop .
The youngsters, aged 11 to 16, tried out various jobs, including making pizzas.
Paul Kennyford, personnel manager, said: "This was part of a national event to help promote the working environment and give kids the chance to get experience of it.
"They had a tour of the store, and we explained what happens, then we gave them job sampling to do.
"They did check-outs and security, and they made their own pizzas and sandwiches in the bakery, which they got to take home.
