While we all have our places I consider my job to be worth more than say someone serving me coffee in a cafe or stacking shelves in the local Asda which is a kick in the teeth that they will be pretty much on the same wage as me and I have to take into account my job role and what I have to do in it to earn that £9 per hour

The living wage of nine pounds is for over 25's not school leavers

No it would have been about 7 pound fifty odd at the end of this parliament if the rises had been in line with other recent ones
