Yes.
Welcome to the world of working for cheapskate Kashmiri taxi operators. I'm technically self-employed too so I pay my own tax and NI.

Feel free to quote the laws and rules regarding minimum wage. These guys won't listen. Believe me, there's plenty of people out there earning less than minimum wage.

Yes, I'm worth more. But I'm comfortable here for the time being. The job's easy, I get to piss about here all day, watch stuff I've recorded on Sky+ in return for me basically running the company and taking 300 phone calls a day.

It suits me. While I'm still recovering from mental health issues and getting various other parts of my life in order, it's relatively stress-free and leaves me plenty of time to do my own thing.

Good for you
It sounds like you're gaining experience in a relatively unstressful job while you consolidate yourself. While the pay sounds terrible, I'd rather do that than be a wreck earning £45k a year.

Best of luck to you sir.

I'm not being racist, but...
Isn't the weather a bit gloomy?
