charliewag   18 #38 Posted May 12, 2021 When I was made redundant in the late 90's I did a couple of months working for Sunblest bakery delivering bread to factories making pre packed sandwiches. The money was rubbish and the hours strange but I always came home with a bag full of various freshly made sandwiches which my wife and kids would take as pack up.

What a bunch of chancers!  It could be right. After all, the national minimum wage act did not come into force until January 1999.  Even after that, wages for apprentices were still as little as £3.50 an hour.   My first job in a law office was around that time and even as a qualified law graduate I was only pulling around £12.5K a year   Edited May 13, 2021 by ECCOnoob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
