Well, yeah, always! I work in the creative industry and people don’t get paid that much, so its all about putting in the extras. It's like overtime with no pay – working on the weekends just to get jobs done.:(

Yeah, definitely. I mean, 12 pence isn’t going to start changing and improving people’s lifestyles, is it?Have you ever worked in a job that you think you should have gotten paid more for it?
Definitely – a waiter. I think I should have got more than what I was getting. It gets a bit frustrating after a while, working long hours then getting your pay packet and its not that much.Were you frustrated at the government or the place you worked for?
Ah, probably both.

I think it depends where in the country you are. In London, if it's only £6.30, it should be £8.50. I mean, it's always been more expensive here, but it's massively expensive living in London at the moment.

Yeah, absolutely. But I also think there should be more means to allow access to housing – making it more affordable, so perhaps trying to tackle this issue from a few different angles.Do you think it's going to end up being impossible for this generation to buy homes?
Yeah, I do, unless there are radical changes in bills and policy, like something to cap people buying property who come from overseas. I'm not a racist, but a lot of foreign people are buying property, which is pushing up prices.Don't worry, I wouldn't have thought you were racist.

Yeah, definitely. People can earn ridiculous amounts.Have you ever worked somewhere that was paying you a very low wage?
Absolutely, when I was a trainee. It was a very frustrating 3 years but it was I don’t know mandatory to get to where I am today, so it was very frustrating but I learnt and developed skills from it.Do you think the minimum wage should be a lot more, how much do you think it should be?
Honestly, I don’t know. If I knew the answer then I would be prime minister in Italy!

That seems a bit like communism, doesn’t it?That it does. But don't you think it's unfair that actors get paid millions for "working" on a film, while other people are getting paid nothing for doing manual labour all day?
I mean, it seems screwy, if there's a market for it and people are willing to pay someone that much money, that’s fine. You can’t stop people from offering a lot of money to do something. It‘s a nice idea because it does seem unfair, but then at the same time you can’t tell people how much or how little to pay someone – it’s just part of the capitalist world we live in.Previously - What Do You Want Done to Your Body When You Die?
