    Would never allow myself to be on a wage like that :(
    Don't have a single qualification worth shouting about but i'm on a hell of a lot more than that.

    Minimum wage increases seem to only be pushing up inflation from what i see...

    Having said that, about 7 years ago i was on 2.80 an hour working at dixons... shocking.

    Yeah but if your going to be a bricklayer getting £10 an hour then you have to do a few years qualifying time and courses where your gaffa decides your wages.

    Therefore you dont have a choice if he pays you minimum wage and your on it for 2-3 years.
