I think what he means is - we won't bull!!!!! you 'cos we've got nothing to sell!
Good point, Rob - 70K (you Oxford peeps) would buy you a healthy share in a
very swish private aeroplane while you go and earn the squids in IT, or the City or wherever to pay for flying for FUN! Unfortunately (from the point of view of this scenario), my training was free - though it did involve compulsory attendance at a few wars. So I'm still working towards having the 70k in the first place.
Fortunately, the huge pay deal we recently received here at Pprune (500% increase for Mods) will help.
