Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.
That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.
The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.
Something needs to change.

I don’t watch women’s football, I also don’t watch 1500mm runners, but best believe I’m shouting the house down for Kelly Holmes at the olympics. Same way I want the lionesses to win.
Tonight was an entertaining watch, nobody claims it be men’s pro level, take it for what it is without constantly trying to compare it.
