Minimum wage and freddo's , food for thought

[Dozer 73]

Food for thought
The Freddo theory
In 1999 minimum wage was £3.60/hour and a freddo was 5p
This means you could buy 72 freddos with an hours wage

Now minimum wage is £7.50/hour yet freddo's are 25p , meaning you can only buy 30 freddo's with an hours wage

For the continuum of freddo purchasing we need £18/hour minimum wage

My dad loved Old Jamaica, would say it's mine too and as Pete said you can get a cheaper style bar from Lidl and Aldi - trouble is i'll eat the whole thing in one sitting!

Fry's chocolate cream and peppermint cream bars are the best.

 

[telectrix]

not much for the peppermint ones. it's like eating toothpaste.

 

[Dave OCD]

They use to do a fruity one with different colours/flavours through it,they were good too.
