@jurgenschmidt0@StormHuntley@JeremyVineOn5 So all under 16’s must get a job in Tesco or Morrisons?? There is, no doubt, higher paid jobs for SOME young people, but the fact is, there are many employers who will pay minimum wage. Expecting young people to save enough to buy a house on that, is absurd and frankly laughable!
@jurgenschmidt0@StormHuntley@JeremyVineOn5 To £6.56 an hour. How do you propose they save this £200 a month? Whilst also having any extra income to fund their day to day living.
@jurgenschmidt0@StormHuntley@JeremyVineOn5 at least 11 hours a week to even earn that. Then take in to account paying for driving lessons once they’re 17, which is on average £23 a week, and having some extra money to have a life. On top of the study they’re doing, even when they reach 18, minimum wage only goes up
@jurgenschmidt0@StormHuntley@JeremyVineOn5 I’m sure it is. But not every area. Also you mentioned a 16 year old saving £50 a week - £200 a month. Minimum wage for under 18 is £4.62 an hour, they’re also legally required to stay in some form of education until they’re 18 now, so they have to work.. cntd
@jurgenschmidt0@StormHuntley@JeremyVineOn5 That would be be £13,000. Which is not a decent deposit at all for some areas in the country. Add on the fees of buying and essential costs of living - that’s not enough at all. 🤦🏻♀️
@theJeremyVine how can you say that young people aren’t working!? ‘They’re not cleaning toilets’ are you joking? What a sweeping statement and totally out of touch with today’s society. Hannah from Kent - you’re clearly the national hero here 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@TicketmasterCS I have followed you now, so should be able to DM me. I’ve read everything on the website but it’s not telling me anything I need to know.
@lookfantastic ordered an advent calendar - told it would be delivered by end of October - chases countless times and told it would be delivered ‘soon’ every time. Still not here - what is going on!?
@loosewomen I came back to work 4 weeks ago, my baby is 8 weeks old. I’m a self employed beauty therapist and I felt pressure from everyone to return. Covid hasn’t helped that as I’ve been out of work. I desperately miss the hours I can’t spend with my daughter, but needs must.
@Simon4NDorset@BootsUK ‘Who can afford to close for lunch?’ Perhaps the staff who are working 9 hour days, 6 days a week. Legally, they are entitled to a break & that includes the pharmacist. Legally, the pharmacy can not operate without a pharmacist present. So yes, closing for lunch is necessary 🤦🏻♀️
@HaysTravel how typical that I’m just about to start work so will miss out on tweeting when I need to. A full two days work for nothing 😂 good luck everyone! #haysholidaysleigh
