I’d like the location within UK and not just ‘a carpark’
Heston Services M4?

Yep, in the shop, but she had a strong accent too.
But then again, lots of people think working in a store is ‘beneath them’ so don’t do it. It is only the migrant or foreign workforce that then do it.
Actually thats inaccurate. English people would love those jobs, its that the gaffers in their ivory towers set the wages so ■■■■ low that English people can’t afford to take the job and then whine ‘we can’t get English people to do the job’ and import a load of Poles and Turks for peanuts.
Yes, I can see your point.
But likewise I know of people locally that have walked away from or ignored jobs that are 6-7 pounds an hour because they class them as ‘too low’. Which is the same wage I am getting at the moment, even on Class 2 but I don’t have the required 2 years experience!
Local shops around here pay minimum wage too, long hours low pay and always on your feet.

They do right. It is too low. Say £7 an hour, 40 hours a week, thats £280. Less tax and NI, say takehome of £250.
I was earning more than that as a 22 year old continental driver in 1986.
However since then everything else has gone up dramatically, food, fuel, you name it. We can’t live 6 to a room and avoid VAT and income tax.
