Pat Hasler:
I have voiced my opinion on the wages in the UK many times. 27k is a disgustingly low wage. I have been out of the country for 18 years and before I left 27k would have been a low wage, The last year I worked for Fed Ex in the UK, 1994 I made more than that, the last job I did in the UK I made over 35K
I make $80k a year here which at tonight’s exchange rate is 60k and even I find it hard to get by. How on earth you men get along on such poor pay I will never understand ?
They get by because they get 20 quid for sleeping in there truck and depriving themselves of anything when they are away so they save it and it makes a difference to them, so there are happy to work for a low hourly rate
Also you can increase your wages by sleeping in your truck if you don’t use your car something about saving on fuel
The mind boggles what people will do and they think its ok to be treated like that
