What's minimum wage in Lithuania?

Irrelevant. They'd be living here, with UK costs, and trying to send
money home, harder now that the £ is weaker.


It works for the Lithuanians crop-picking in the fens.

And the standard of living isn't all that low in Lithuania.


Average wage 616 Euro a month versus 2,140 Euro here.

and if you click on Median Wages the difference is even greater

OT- surprised how low wages are in Malta


Is that what makes the Maltese cross?
