:00:11. > :00:14.a pea factory in my hometown of Hull. I was a cassie, a casual

:00:14. > :00:19.worker taken on for the summer season. They were hard but good

:00:19. > :00:23.times. I made my first film there. Now I'm going back to Hull to see if

:00:23. > :00:33.I can find the other cassies - to see what is happening in their world

:00:33. > :00:40.

:00:40. > :00:43.You've got a bigger microphone than me! Phil is an unemployed friend of

:00:43. > :00:51.mine, who has always dreamed of making films. He's looking for a

:00:52. > :00:59.Waddsworth. I just wondered. If Antonello knew the number he lives

:00:59. > :01:02.weeks each summer working twelve hours a night, seven nights a week.

:01:02. > :01:06.I've just come to hull because I'm doing some sort of filming thing.

:01:06. > :01:10.Tracking down the old pea factory workers isn't so easy, so I head

:01:10. > :01:20.over to a street where I know one of them lives. It's just one of those

:01:20. > :01:30.working to his phone. I wonder if you know the number of his address

:01:30. > :01:46.

:01:46. > :01:50.old pea factory workers. I base myself at my parents house. They've

:01:50. > :01:52.lived in Hull all their lives in the home where I grew up. I manage to

:01:52. > :01:57.make contact with the old supervisor, but he's now a hospital

:01:57. > :02:02.porter and not interested in being filmed. Then I discover another

:02:02. > :02:06.worker, but he's now living in Sydney. Finally my mother suggests I

:02:06. > :02:11.go over the road to Kieran, an old school friend, who I've not seen in

:02:11. > :02:21.years. This is so bizarre. The last time I was here was like I was a

:02:21. > :02:26.

:02:26. > :02:32.in. You been asleep?Yes, just dozed off. 23 years ago I made a film in

:02:32. > :02:39.the pea factory. 23 years?How many years did you do the pea factory?

:02:39. > :02:44.Seven or eight. Did you? '84 to '91? How many seasons did we do together?

:02:44. > :02:50.You did more than me. No, did we work together in the factory on the

:02:50. > :02:54.same shift? Oh, yes.Did we? Yes, but you were in the office and I was

:02:54. > :03:01.in QC at the end. Oh, right, right, right. That was good days, wasn't

:03:01. > :03:06.it? Patrick was supervising. Yes, then he slipped on the peas. Oh,

:03:06. > :03:09.broke his arm. Kieran had gone of to university, but would return to the

:03:09. > :03:12.pea factory each summer to pay off his debts. Today he works as an

:03:12. > :03:15.over-qualified care assistant. at the end of the day it was like

:03:15. > :03:19.camaraderie weren't it, you know what I mean? There was Damien and

:03:19. > :03:21.Frank and Patrick and yourself and Steve and all that point You knew

:03:21. > :03:25.people, didn't you? It was good times really. Lots of respect,

:03:25. > :03:29.wasn't it? It was the best of working times. I use to look forward

:03:29. > :03:35.to it. Yes, it was a bit tiring, but you got to know people. It was eight

:03:35. > :03:38.weeks a year. Yes, it was all go, weren't it? Never any chance to

:03:38. > :03:43.spend any money! Well, no, but it the production line use to break

:03:43. > :03:53.down you use to go out and have a drink, didn't we? We'd go out and

:03:53. > :03:57.

:03:57. > :04:01.Steve Waddie in his local pub which had only just reopened. In the old

:04:01. > :04:05.days there use to be a hole here, where you could be served beer when

:04:05. > :04:08.you were 17 or 16. Steve's been in and out of factory work all his

:04:08. > :04:14.life, and is currently looking for his next cassie job. Do you remember

:04:14. > :04:24.throwing peas at my camera? No.In the film? No? There's a pea fight

:04:24. > :04:28.

:04:29. > :04:32.and you started it! Don't remember that point. I remember Kieran

:04:32. > :04:35.filling his mouth with peas, and going like that point The landlady

:04:35. > :04:39.of the pub had recently taken over the business on a salary-only deal.

:04:39. > :04:45.The pub had been closed for months, and even she was struggling to make

:04:45. > :04:49.ends meet. I worked here 20 years ago? Here? Not here, but in Hull

:04:49. > :04:53.with him in a factory, and I've come back to make a little film about

:04:53. > :04:57.what work is like 20 years on, to see how much things have changed. Do

:04:57. > :05:01.you think you're better off now working than you were 20 years ago?

:05:01. > :05:05.I'm actually a senior support worker for people with special needs.

:05:05. > :05:09.you? We lived in Gibraltar, then we moved to Spain, then we came back,

:05:09. > :05:12.because I'm from Doncaster, a Donnie lass, and we came back and someone

:05:12. > :05:16.said do you fancy taking over this bar in Hull? And Steve, he's a

:05:16. > :05:19.publican. He's got a licence and I went "Yes, I think I'll have a go at

:05:19. > :05:26.it!" Any deposable income for holidays or for special things, or

:05:26. > :05:30.is it just working to live? Yep, basically yep. I meet a van driver

:05:30. > :05:34.at the bar whose new contract means that he's on flat rate for all the

:05:34. > :05:38.hours he works. It seems the bonus of time and half and double time pay

:05:38. > :05:43.at weekends has now gone. But it doesn't pay to work at the minute?

:05:43. > :05:46.No, it don't pay me to work, no, but I've worked all my life, and I like

:05:46. > :05:50.to work. Do you think wages are too low or that benefits are too high?

:05:50. > :05:54.Good question. I haven't been on benefits for a long time, so I don't

:05:54. > :06:02.know how it works now. But my wage for what I do, getting up at half

:06:02. > :06:06.past two in the morning, is rubbish, really. How do you meet your bills

:06:06. > :06:12.and outgoings? I don't. I'm in debt. It's only because I've got a good

:06:12. > :06:16.family, mum and dad what help me out. My mother worked 60 hours a

:06:16. > :06:26.week as a nurse at a hospital. Yet we still couldn't afford to have

:06:26. > :06:28.

:06:28. > :06:32.food in all the time. She's still working at 70, my mum. Frustrated at

:06:32. > :06:36.not being able to meet any more factory workers, I head over to meet

:06:36. > :06:43.Ron. He's an old tutor of mine who had a big influence on me when I

:06:43. > :06:47.went back to college to study. You're in a city that's a special

:06:47. > :06:52.case, because it's an isolated city. Do you call that geographical

:06:52. > :06:58.poverty? Well, in a Sense it is.Ron always enjoyed a political

:06:58. > :07:01.discussion. It was good to see he hadn't changed. My parents were

:07:01. > :07:11.working poor. As far as my father was concerned, he was never better

:07:11. > :07:12.

:07:12. > :07:15.off when he retired. He never had continuity before then. And that is

:07:15. > :07:18.what makes the working poor, poor - lack of continuity. But you have a

:07:18. > :07:22.situation where you're hiccupping from one job to the next - agency

:07:22. > :07:25.work, short term contract work, then you are always trying to catch up.

:07:25. > :07:28.can't find many ex pea workers, but I'm hearing a lot about modern day

:07:28. > :07:32.cassies, and what the papers are calling 'the working poor' - people

:07:32. > :07:37.struggling to make ends meet despite having a job, I want to find more

:07:37. > :07:40.people and decide to make an appeal. A bit of T-Rex and 20th Century Boy.

:07:40. > :07:45.We'd love to hear from you. We're talking about jobs this morning.

:07:45. > :07:49.We're going to meet a Hull born filmmaker. Sean, nice to see you,

:07:49. > :07:53.what are you up to? Well, I came back to Hull with a brief from the

:07:53. > :07:56.BBC to dig out some former pea pushers. I use to work in a pea

:07:56. > :07:59.factory, and what it's actually developed into, because I can't

:07:59. > :08:02.really find any other pea pushers - there is a new breed of working poor

:08:02. > :08:06.- people in those jobs that are basically doing those day-to-day

:08:06. > :08:08.jobs and still living on the bread line. So have you found all the

:08:09. > :08:11.people you need now? No, if there are people out there doing

:08:12. > :08:20.interesting jobs, that feel that they are working full time and not

:08:20. > :08:23.making ends meet, I'd like to speak responds to my radio appeal. Another

:08:23. > :08:27.friend puts me in touch with a worker at a local factory, but just

:08:27. > :08:36.as I'm about to meet him he pulls out of filming. Finally, I meet

:08:36. > :08:41.Rachel who is more then happy to be filmed. I've bought a film crew with

:08:41. > :08:51.me! She'd ran two successful cafes in a nearby seaside town, but they'd

:08:51. > :08:55.gone under, as did her marriage in here to open a cafe, or did you just

:08:55. > :08:58.do it? No, I just did it. Mum's personality is to be sociable, to be

:08:58. > :09:06.happy and welcoming, and obviously if you're going to go to a cafe

:09:06. > :09:14.that's what you want. I think the cafe was both my biggest success and

:09:14. > :09:18.my biggest failure to be honest. do you punish yourself? Because it

:09:18. > :09:22.was me that started it, I couldn't have met that bill, you know what I

:09:22. > :09:28.mean? She was asking me to pay out really double in rent that I were

:09:28. > :09:31.paying out in the beginning. With the work that you are doing now, are

:09:32. > :09:36.you making enough money to have a decent life with the family and have

:09:36. > :09:43.holidays? Don't have the money to go on holiday. I wouldn't mind going

:09:43. > :09:46.away for the weekend! But you are working full time every week?

:09:46. > :09:51.think you need two full time wages coming in to a house before you can

:09:51. > :10:01.contemplate going on holiday. There are benefits, but for my own sanity

:10:01. > :10:07.

:10:07. > :10:15.seven to go to her job at a call centre. It's a journey that takes

:10:15. > :10:19.two hours of her day and one she can hardly afford to make. I decide to

:10:19. > :10:29.meet Steve and Kieran on the pier for a catch up and leave the pub out

:10:29. > :10:30.

:10:30. > :10:38.remember any of them at all. What were you on when you were taking

:10:38. > :10:48.these? What was I on? Night shift! That's the thing you say in the film

:10:48. > :10:49.

:10:49. > :10:57.university, Kieran didn't think that it had got him a better job. For

:10:57. > :11:00.Steve that didn't matter, it was all about gaining more knowledge.

:11:00. > :11:04.you feel a bit annoyed what he told you. Who told you? From the

:11:04. > :11:08.education system! You had to get a good job and a degree and you're all

:11:08. > :11:11.right and it's not the case, is it? It's not! What are you laughing at?

:11:11. > :11:15.He's so negative about it. No I'm realistic. Don't say negative, I'm

:11:15. > :11:19.realistic. Are you positive? I think so, yes. You're deluded!I'm

:11:19. > :11:23.deluded! Yer, the best of us are deluded, old chap. But dude, I know

:11:23. > :11:25.what you're saying about expectations. You're going through a

:11:25. > :11:32.certain framework - going to university and doing your social

:11:32. > :11:35.stuff. It's knowledge. Yes, it is knowledge. He's talking about wonga

:11:35. > :11:38.- making some money and having a career, not just knowledge.

:11:38. > :11:44.sociology was good because that does give you knowledge, yer, but didn't

:11:44. > :11:47.help you. It lets you know about the reality of life. Sociology does.

:11:47. > :11:52.University is great for that point Everyone should go. That's what I

:11:52. > :11:59.say. But now they can't afford to go can they. It's �9,000 a year.

:12:00. > :12:03.I'm �21,000 in debt! On the other side of the city I came across a

:12:03. > :12:06.very unusual sight, a strike at the local cake factory. The company says

:12:06. > :12:10.it wants to talk to the staff and settle the dispute, but the workers

:12:10. > :12:13.have had enough. Like the driver I met in the pub they've had their

:12:13. > :12:18.terms and conditions changed. What's your terms and conditions worth to

:12:18. > :12:21.you in your pay packet? For me personally, the main thing I've lost

:12:21. > :12:31.is my overtime. For these guys here, they've all lost their shift bonus,

:12:31. > :12:32.

:12:32. > :12:37.which is?about �35 a week taken off their wages. Plus bank holidays,

:12:37. > :12:42.overtime rates, premium rates. double-time and time-and-half all of

:12:42. > :12:47.that's gone? Yes. If we were to do 60 hours a week, every one of those

:12:47. > :12:55.hours would be flat rate. It costs me �150 to go home. I can't afford

:12:55. > :12:58.that point Sadly Phil's microphone couldn't compete with the winter

:12:58. > :13:02.wind, but this Scottish worker was telling me that he couldn't afford

:13:02. > :13:05.to go home to visit his family, and he hadn't had a holiday in years.

:13:05. > :13:11.The dispute was eventually settled with a wage increase and a return to

:13:11. > :13:15.overtime pay. But during my time in Hull, I'd heard that people were

:13:16. > :13:18.struggling. I wanted to hear from someone who had a Sense of what's

:13:18. > :13:28.going on, someone who meets people who are finding it difficult to

:13:28. > :13:31.cope. Just the fact that you're working doesn't bring the things

:13:31. > :13:34.that perhaps people think it should. Then we have things like gas and

:13:34. > :13:38.electricity and food prices all going through the roof, and when you

:13:38. > :13:43.combine all those things, you've got a disaster waiting to happen.

:13:43. > :13:47.you see real despair? I'm afraid so, yes. When someone is sat in front of

:13:47. > :13:57.you, and we can't simply make a plan to pay their very basics in life,

:13:57. > :13:58.

:13:58. > :14:02.what are we suppose to do? People are really struggling, and

:14:02. > :14:05.I'm afraid to say that over the last year or so I've seen people coming

:14:05. > :14:08.in here for food parcels who are working. But the food banks are a

:14:08. > :14:11.new thing? Fairly new, I mean there's always been organisations

:14:11. > :14:14.who have done food parcels. The one that springs to mind is the

:14:14. > :14:17.Salvation Army. But that's usually for homeless people, not for working

:14:17. > :14:19.people? Well, it's considered for homeless people isn't it, you know.

:14:19. > :14:28.That's what people think, but increasingly it's working people who

:14:28. > :14:32.are needing food parcels to make ends meet.

:14:32. > :14:35.I wanted to know more about who was using the food banks in Hull. I

:14:35. > :14:38.discovered a charity called Real Aid whose work was originally to help

:14:38. > :14:41.the poor in Africa, but after the floods in 2007, they saw such a dire

:14:41. > :14:44.need in the city they redirected their efforts to Hull. They source

:14:44. > :14:54.high quality food that they save from going to the landfill, products

:14:54. > :14:55.

:14:55. > :14:58.that have just passed their sell-by-date or disfigured fruit.

:14:58. > :15:04.It's all bagged up by volunteers and sent to community centres around the

:15:04. > :15:07.city. The fresh food would have otherwise been mashed into animal

:15:07. > :15:13.feed, some of it having been flown half way across the world to get

:15:13. > :15:17.here. You said that 40 tonnes of food goes to landfill every week?

:15:17. > :15:21.Yes! We did have one pallet of tomatoes that came in. The top

:15:21. > :15:24.punnet had a mouldy tomato in it, so the whole pallet was rejected. I

:15:24. > :15:27.think there were 1500 punnets of tomatoes. So we took that punnet

:15:27. > :15:32.away and checked the rest as they were put on the van for delivery.

:15:32. > :15:36.That was the only mouldy punnet. you doing this every day? It's

:15:36. > :15:40.rather shocking for us to come here and see all this food! Yes.I don't

:15:40. > :15:43.think a lot of people realise... they don't. There is absolutely

:15:43. > :15:47.nothing wrong with it. Perfectly good tomatoes. There is nothing

:15:47. > :15:51.wrong with those. It varies every week. This week it was just

:15:51. > :16:01.tomatoes. Other weeks it might be pears or apples. It could be a right

:16:01. > :16:04.mix. Nectarines. Grapes. Apricots. We get all sorts. I couldn't help

:16:04. > :16:10.thinking of the people I'd met, like Steve, who'd benefited from this

:16:11. > :16:14.food parcel service. How I see it is that we're just

:16:14. > :16:19.saving this from landfill, and it's meeting a need. There is a

:16:19. > :16:29.tremendous need for it in the community. In every community, not

:16:29. > :16:30.

:16:30. > :16:40.just here. It has become a little industry. Well, it has. People are

:16:40. > :16:41.

:16:41. > :16:47.depending on it now, which is a terrible state of affairs, really.

:16:47. > :16:50.You won't need ladders to paint your ceiling.

:16:50. > :16:56.I join Steve round at Kieran's for a few beers the following night and

:16:56. > :16:59.the conversation turns to the rapid growth of food banks in Europe.

:16:59. > :17:07.I watched a programme about the Spanish. There are a million people

:17:07. > :17:11.in Spain now who go to food banks on a weekly basis. A million?Yes!

:17:11. > :17:15.Because the recession hit really bad. A lady said for two years you

:17:15. > :17:19.are allowed to claim, then it stops. So she said the position her and her

:17:19. > :17:22.mother were in, she had a choice - she could either pay for food and

:17:22. > :17:25.not pay the bills, which means she'll get into trouble, or she can

:17:25. > :17:29.pay the bills and go to the food bank. She said she was embarrassed

:17:29. > :17:39.when she first went, but the people were nice, so she's no longer

:17:39. > :17:41.

:17:41. > :17:46.embarrassed about going. Are you embarrassed about going tomorrow?

:17:46. > :17:55.No, I'm not. I don't want to sleep on the street, but I'd get into the

:17:55. > :18:05.hostels, if it came to that. Do you think it could come to that?

:18:05. > :18:07.

:18:07. > :18:17.Currently, at the minute, yes! What's going on here then?

:18:17. > :18:22.

:18:22. > :18:32.The next day I join Real Aid At the North Hull Community Centre a

:18:32. > :18:50.

:18:50. > :18:59.team of volunteers are on hand to people volunteering. Steve comes

:18:59. > :19:09.along to get a bag to see him over the Christmas period.

:19:09. > :19:12.Marvellous! Are you getting a bag, Phil? No? The staff tell me that

:19:12. > :19:15.they are seeing more and more working poor using the food parcel

:19:15. > :19:18.service. At the moment, even down my street,

:19:18. > :19:28.people are saying, "Do we get vouchers for our gas and electric or

:19:28. > :19:34.do we buy food?" The community centre offers cookery

:19:34. > :19:38.courses to help with often exotic food that comes each week. Steve

:19:38. > :19:41.gets ideas about his own community centre in the Spring Bank area.

:19:42. > :19:45.Why do you think the Spring Bank community aren't doing it? I don't

:19:45. > :19:50.know. Do you think they don't know about it? Maybe they don't know

:19:50. > :20:00.about it. Do you think there is the need for it on Spring Bank? Yes.

:20:00. > :20:01.

:20:01. > :20:05.Definitely. People are hungry?Yes. After dividing the food into

:20:05. > :20:11.separate parcels, the doors open and locals arrive. Anyone can come for

:20:11. > :20:15.the food, a nominal charge is made to cover the transport.

:20:15. > :20:23.�1.50. Only �1.50?Yes, I'll get you some change. That's a bit of a

:20:23. > :20:29.bargain, isn't it? Yes, it's the first time I've been told about it.

:20:29. > :20:33.Did someone mention it? Yes, my daughter-in-law. Because they're on

:20:33. > :20:43.the dole, she said why don't you go. She said even pensioners go. It does

:20:43. > :20:46.

:20:47. > :20:54.help. Food going up every week. The cost of living has gone up. Are your

:20:54. > :21:01.bills going high? My gas bill is. Have you noticed a big difference?

:21:01. > :21:04.With my gas, yes, an awful lot. I used to pay in �10 a week, now I'm

:21:04. > :21:08.putting in double that. It now costs me �22 a week. That's not bad for

:21:08. > :21:11.�1.50? No, I'm getting it for my mum and dad. Well, I don't want them

:21:11. > :21:16.coming out in this weather and getting cold. Is that three or two?

:21:16. > :21:20.Two. Look at that! With them being not very well, I said, "I'll get

:21:20. > :21:27.yours and save you coming out." That's better than the buy one, get

:21:27. > :21:29.one free deals. It is. Well, thanks ever so much! So do you find it

:21:30. > :21:37.helps? Just recently my brother moved from Ipswich with his

:21:37. > :21:47.girlfriend and four kids, so it's helped us a lot more.

:21:47. > :22:19.

:22:19. > :22:23.Have you found it inspirational? Yes, it's great, absolutely. You

:22:23. > :22:33.know all over the world people live on dumps. You know the one in Russia

:22:33. > :22:37.

:22:37. > :22:40.and another in India... Is that what we're doing here?

:22:40. > :22:43.It was impressive to see the food parcel service in full swing, but

:22:43. > :22:50.equally sad that a rich country like Britain, in the 21st century, should

:22:50. > :22:58.need food handouts to feed its people.

:22:58. > :23:05.We used to do broad beans after the peas. Yes, I'll eat all this. That's

:23:05. > :23:12.sorted my Christmas out. It helps everyone.

:23:12. > :23:22.Steve takes his food parcel to his local community centre. It says no

:23:22. > :23:24.

:23:24. > :23:27.food to be brought onto the Inside he meets the centre manager

:23:27. > :23:35.and discusses the idea of finding himself a new job, distributing the

:23:35. > :23:38.food parcel service to the Spring Bank community.

:23:38. > :23:47.You'd buy this if it was here, wouldn't you? Oh yes, definitely!

:23:47. > :23:51.For �1.50? I'd buy it for a fiver, easily.

:23:51. > :23:54.How can you plan the life that you imagine you're going to have, if you

:23:54. > :23:59.have short-term contracts, if you have this agency work, if you have

:23:59. > :24:01.this hiccupping from one unemployed situation to the next? You can't

:24:01. > :24:05.establish yourself in what really makes people prosperous in our

:24:05. > :24:13.society - bricks and mortar. You can't buy yourself a house. You are

:24:13. > :24:22.forever in subsidised or rented accommodation.

:24:22. > :24:24.There's no way you could've saved it? When the banks failed to step in

:24:24. > :24:30.and help Rachel, she lost her dream home.

:24:30. > :24:39.No, I couldn't afford it. I asked the mortgage company to help, but

:24:39. > :24:42.they wanted �500 or �600 a month, and I wasn't working at time. Any

:24:42. > :24:48.savings I did have went on that, which was a waste of money really,

:24:48. > :24:55.because I ended up with nothing. I ended up in debt because when they

:24:55. > :24:58.sold the house it went for �75,000. And what did you owe on it? �99,000.

:24:58. > :25:04.But they didn't care about that? because I'll be responsible for

:25:04. > :25:14.debt, won't I? How can you get out of that debt? What can you do?

:25:14. > :25:19.clue. Pay it back at �1 a week? Well, I will have to pay it back,

:25:19. > :25:22.but at the moment it's probably what they will get, a �1 a week. How long

:25:22. > :25:29.had you lived there? Seven years. Could you see the house slipping

:25:29. > :25:36.away? Yes, I knew it would go.What do you do when that sort of thing

:25:36. > :25:38.happens? You just have to do it. I had to stay strong for the girls.

:25:38. > :25:47.You didn't hit the bottle or anything? No, thankfully. I could

:25:47. > :25:52.have done. You can see why people break and kill themselves. Yes, you

:25:52. > :25:56.go through all sorts of emotions, because there was never a point. I

:25:56. > :26:06.was going to work and I still couldn't keep the roof over my kids

:26:06. > :26:07.

:26:07. > :26:13.heads. Before I left, Rachel wanted to show

:26:13. > :26:20.me the cafe that she still dreams of running again.

:26:20. > :26:30.See if Lorna will talk to me? let's get Lorna in. Hello, I'm only

:26:30. > :26:32.

:26:32. > :26:35.showing them where I use to have the cafe. All right. Are you all right?

:26:35. > :26:40.They are doing a television documentary. Are you in it? So are

:26:40. > :26:43.you! Do you spend a lot of time thinking

:26:43. > :26:47.about the cafe, or have you forgotten about it? No, I'll never

:26:47. > :26:51.forget about it. It will always stay a dream, because I don't think I

:26:51. > :27:00.will never have the money to do it again, not unless someone gives me a

:27:00. > :27:06.lucky lotto ticket. If I ever for the chance of another cafe, everyone

:27:06. > :27:15.around me would say it would fail, but I would still do it. I would

:27:15. > :27:21.still take that chance. But now I think it's something I've done and I

:27:21. > :27:24.will always talk about it. I was impressed by the drive and

:27:24. > :27:27.determination of the people I met like Rachel but couldn't help

:27:27. > :27:32.thinking of the countless others like her working but struggling to

:27:32. > :27:37.make ends meet. It was difficult to imagine the full scale of the crisis

:27:37. > :27:41.across Britain today. I arranged for a goodbye pint at Steve's local but

:27:41. > :27:49.by the time we arrived we realised the economic downturn had beaten us

:27:49. > :27:54.to it and the pub was closed again. I get a call from Rachel to say that

:27:54. > :27:57.she has moved on from her job at the call centre and found herself a new

:27:57. > :28:05.job as a care assistant paying an extra 50p an hour. She said the �20

:28:05. > :28:08.extra in her pay packet will come in handy. It was great to see the
