Enlightenment is required..please.
And in the interest of reasoned debate you could also enlighten us as to what your 'something else' consists of too.
What you choose to pay your cleaner is your business......and I don't care what gender your cleaner is. What has it got to do with the minimum wage what the gender of your cleaner is?
You are usually so precise about not thread wandering...not like the lesser mortals on here who do it for fun.

Sorry to confuse, Margaret. I meant to declare that the other chap's remark wasn't a sensible contribution to the matter.
I've described elsewhere what my favoured 'something else' would be.
There is a lingering attitude that cleaning is the work of women, and it was this view that I wanted to examine. I quite agree that it must not matter that a cleaner is a man or a woman.
I am not a supporter of the minimum wage, by reason of that name and also the rate. I couldn't survive if paid that amount, given the conveniences and choices I have grown firm in supporting. In practice, though, I do support it whenever I shop locally because the shop workers are paid at that level.
Thread-wander is quite common here and elsewhere, I've noticed.
