Nice thought, but we have to live in the real world. You can't have your cake and eat it.
How can anyone survive on £7.50 an hour? That's £296.25 for a 39.5 hour week after tax and NI.

Fine if you are living with your parents but if you are on your own and burdened with essential costs such as Rent, council tax, energy bills, food shopping, travel fares; you simply can't survive. You certainly won't be buying cake to eat!!
