vindelis BS: Minimum Wage (41) RE: BS: Minimum Wage 24 Oct 04

When I started work as a clecrical assistant, in 1973 (aged 17) I was paid £17.20 per week. This included about £1.50 'cost of living allowance.' The rate of inflation at the time was approaching 25% (if I remember correctly)and the Labour Government gave all workers a financial top-up each time the rate of infation went up.
(I forgot I also had a meal voucher of 25p per day, net result two course meal and a cup of tea for an extra 2.5p!)
Sometimes it pays to be young.
