Preperation have more or less finally finished for my dad's birthday tomorrow

Presents wrapped
Card ordered and received
Cake bought
Party bags pretty much filled
Balloons and badges sorted
Restaurant booked

Now all I gotta do is decide what to wear

Thank you folks for all your help with his presents. I got him a camera, am giving him some cash and I've hand written a little notebook of money saving tips so that when he retires later in the year, he can do it comfortably

That's a great idea!!

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!!

As I pointed out during the Bic offer (£10 for Bic out of ink, and about an hour to scribble all the ink out), a Bic 'earns' about £10 an hour, which is getting on for twice the current minimum wage.:(

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

I ate my free Nakd bar yesterday (thanks OP ... was it you, tom?) and .... bleurgh! ... I think I paid too much - I wouldn't scratch me bum with them:) My stomach was saying to me, "What have I ever done to you, that you treat me like this?".

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.

That is the government view and for some small companies this would be true, but for the majority it would not.. the government argues for a free economy and they supplements large companies with tax cuts for the company and substituting the wages... whilst the owners become richer.
