As I walked past the local pub on my way home from work, I witnessed one of the regulars lift his feet up to allow a street sweeper to sweep underneath the tables. As I passed, I overhead the following conversation.

Publican: “Why do you do it?”

Worker: “Need the money.”

Publican: “How much it pay?”

Worker: “£10 an hour.”

Publican: “£10? Why would you do it? You could claim.”

Worker: “Because it’s work.”

I thought such conversations only existed in stories, but hearing it made me smile and so I thought I’d share it. Have you ever asked yourself why you work?
