if you aint making a living wage in a humane working week (i.e. 39 hours) then its not a WTD opt-out you need, its a new career

who wants to work 24/7?

So are we all celebrating the fact that we need to work 60/70/80+ to make a reasonable living? :?

Which begs the question as to why most other trades get by with working far less. :?

Because they get the minimum wage or above
I wish the government would look at this and force owners to pay it

That depends on how much cash one needs to make.

I would'nt drive a Taxi if I only took the minimum wage, I leave that to the likes of the Minicab trade and their 7 days / 12 hour shifts.

There are plenty of social activities that you can do in the daytime if you look for them. You could join a few pensioner groups. :mrgreen:
