Peter T Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Just be aware DIZZY - check before answering your door that you have asked that stranger to your house if not ignore it and if they don't leave contact your local police with the details. Thought that only applied to vampires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Seems we should feel sorry for these cold callers: according to a Panorama prog - a young lad was working over 70 hours per week for £200 - and if they're classed as self employed, you don't need to pay them the minimum wage! :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 On a level to the wage of some young apprentices though Obs who have high hopes of learning but then just finish up brewing tea and brushing up for 35-40 hrs a week for £95.

observer Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Same prog; it's gets better (or worse depending on your view) - seems there's something called an internship; where young folk work for nothing, on the basis they'll gain work experience. And to cap it all; the biggest exploiters appear to be MPs, who employ "researchers" for nowt! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Seems to be part of the career path of becoming a career politician - start working in the Ivory Tower for nowt, get noticed, then get parachuted into a constiuency.
