thats true. Bandwidth is cheapest in UK in comparison with other European countries. cost of living is quite high in UK so Internet becomes most affordable source to start earning in young age.

That's very true. Many students go into CSS design or graphic design to earn some money. And that's what exactly I am going into. *reads CSS book*

Hehe, but as everyone is trying to do it now work is a lot more few and far between and less paid as competition drives both number of jobs and price to pay down.

Sorry, I didn't get your post.

Yeah, the UK is expensive country to live in but as the government rises the minimum wage mortgage value and prices for retailer food rises as well. I think anyway.

so ask Government to give employment to those who don't find Pay Package as per rules. Reason why UK has close to 50% population from other European and Asian countries is that they don't read law book before accepting low Salary job. You should think from business point of view as well. You have competition in all sectors and competition has reduces prices of Computers, Internet connection, M0biles, calling charges, Hosting packages, Cars, etc...,

Its difficult to follow minimum wage criteria in today's competition.

Yes, this has all hapened and is a huge benefit to everyone as a customer but absolutely rubbish for everyone as a worker!

Really? I just seen a four bedroom villa with outdoor and indoor swimming pool, air condition, mini bar, garden 2 reception rooms, lounge etc etc for 195, 000 - I can't even get a 2 bedroom flat with a balcony for that in Manchester!!!!!

Plus the pound is so much stronger than the dollar so we get more for our money!!

I don't think it costs more to live in America because some people only get wages of $10.00 in America whereas here in the UK wages any lower than £6.00 per hour odd isn't enough for any more than a flat I would presume. (but that depends how many hours you do on a monthly basis)

You can get a flat from Â£60 a week in the UK
