Channel 4 is looking for people who feel they are due a pay rise but don't know how to ask for one

Reminds me of negotiating my first proper wage when I was 17 in 1995, my boss said I'm putting you on £75.00 a week and I said wow thanks.

I should have pushed for £80.00

You were rich! I started on £19 a week in 1977.

TJ will be along to tell you he started on 3 groats and a loaf of bread in 1878..

 

[Time's Ran Out]

3 groats AND a loaf of bread.
That was on a good week of 8 days before the Julian calander was introduced by Ceasar.
I remember Hadrian coming over to our town and building a bloody wall across the country to keep out the heathens in the north - sounds familiar.
He kept the wages so low we had to join a theatre company that showed us how to ask for a pay rise. Unfortunately it all ended in tears and we all had to work on the ships. Fortunately Arthur and Maggie came along and closed all the industry and I took up tiling - never looked back - money falling out of every pouch, stotties on the table every night and friends all over Europe telling me not to use exclamation marks.

Then, I got married.
And still kicking in a.s
