My son is working in a local garden centre for the pre-Christmas season - netting Christmas trees, carrying them to cars and doing general tasks in their outside yard. It's physically demanding but he's tall and pretty strong for his age.
He was told at the end of his first shift that he would be getting £4.50/hour.
When I was 15 in 19-bloody-88 I was on £3 / hour... working in a pub. That was 35 years ago!!?!
AIBU to expect him to be earning a little more than that?
