    that's assuming holidays get paid as well i guess. which quite possibly won't, on minimum wage jobs

    Well according to your post you said anyone on minimum wage are you now moving goalposts? People are classed as full time after thirty hours so I suspect whatever the bosses say you are working that will be what you work,as there's no protection from job centre etc.
    That is why your theory of lumping everybody under same banner does not tally.
    And Tyrone is a fekin gret liar by the way.

    Didn't help though ST when you've mortgage companies moving the goal posts at the very, last minute.

    I've recently gone down the shared-ownership route, everything was set then at the last minute my mortgage advisor said that they wanted 15 % percent deposit rather than 10 %, and when I say last minute, I mean it.

    It was a case of put up at an extra 3k sharpish or risk losing the house and going through the whole process again, finding another company.

    I meant proper full time. Not the crazy definition of full time that the government made up to make their figures look better. Let's be honest anyone who starts at 9 and finishes at 3 does not have a full time job.
