What's a reasonable wage in the UK?

The minimum wage for over 22s in the UK is £5.35 an hour. Do you think this is reasonable? What do you think is a good wage to earn and how hard would you be prepared to work for it? Should 18-21 year olds receive the same minimum wage as over 22s? Why, in the 21st century, do some women still earn less than men for doing the same job?

    Shelf is the singular Shelves the plural. So Shelfs Stacker is incorrect. The pensionable age has gone up to 67 and will rise again. I should have joined the police. They get to retire after 30 years, a mate of maine will be retiring from the old bill at the ripe old age of 51.
