The agricultural wage is the equivalent...Catherine<br /><br />The agricultural wage is the equivalent today of £135.28, this would have been for at least a 40 hour week.<br /><br />Today the minimum wage for over 21s is £6.50 an hour, so for a week of 40 hours this is £260. In comparison ER's lunch for 4/6d is in today's value £8.70, quite cheap but probably our of reach of the agricultural worker!<br /><br />Mike DennisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
