Oh that's fascinating.

My grans Yorkshire puddings

We had a range similar to that when I was a kid. Didn't have a spit though.

Simple enough to make a powered spit, all you need are a starter motor, 12v supply, some pulleys and a fan belt

or go to Asda and buy a chicken

How the fook do you roast a leg of mutton (or a suckling pig in my case) on an Asda chicken?

Surely the reason to avoid Domino's is that there pizzas are bloody awful.



Everyone should have a proper spit roast at least once in their life.

Local takeaways are more likely to have illegal immigrants working for below the minimum wage - a major chain like Dominos would not be able to get away with that easily due to their size, it would be much easier for the government to get the arrears and levy the fine on them.



The fact that the Dominos CEO is saying that he wants to bring in cheap (legal EU) labour from overseas that will accept lower wages implies that Dominos are paying above the minimum wage, presumably he wants to drive wages down towards the minimum wage.



So this means the UK nationals that don't want to work there don't want to work for above minimum wage pay jobs.



What are they doing then....claiming benefits?

It would be simple for Domino's to employ illegal immigrants on a cash in hand basis. Most of their stores (if not all) are privately owned franchises. In fact, I'm a little suspicious that my local Domino's may be doing so.

As always with these cases and like other non-standard hours jobs, hotel workers, hospitality, care workers, etc etc etc, the issue isn't so much the National Minimum Wage (although it is an issue), but the number of hours available for work, either from the employee but more often from the employer.



An employer in this type of business is more than likely looking for someone to be very flexible in their hours and days of availability to suit the demands of the particular location/business and while for a pizza outlet you might be able to predict with some confidence that Friday and Saturday nights are going to be busy, in hotel work where 90% of staff are NMW and low (or no) guaranteed hours you'll find that there are constant fluctuations in occupancy with no apparent pattern to plan to - an employee working in that sort of business will find it hard to take on a second job to make up the hours as they haven't a clue what they are rostered for next week until next week and often until the day before, but yet could finish a week with barely two shifts worked.



THAT is the major issue facing employees today and whilst its fine in principle speaking of "a modern and flexible workforce" in practice this is what is often behind people in work and having to use food banks.
