    So the government is considering raising the minimum wage and are debating what the level should be.

    Now Mr PM... it is simple (and as I obtained 98% in my uni exam in economics I feel I am qualified to answer this!)... it needs to be more than the cost of living!! No person working full time should have to be reliant on benefits to meet their own needs, their employers should pay more than the living wage and the government should enforce this! Simples!!

    agree about the warburtons chris - went to tesco and looked at them but they seemed to have a heavy consistency which wouldnt sit well with toms tum. i only eat light danish bread.

    when you get 2 of the nakd bars at tesco you get 50p off the rest of your shopping - but for the two coupons to be accepted without any assistance from s/a you need to spend £3 :)

    Which could lead to an employer with 5 employees saying that due to increase they can only afford 3/4 and then you have an increase in unemployment and people on job seekers.

    Not quite as simple as you think.
