Exeng : OK
Scottie : I couldn't agree with you more. There are other professions that deserve more money too like doctors, nurses, teachers etc, but that is a whole new can of worms. I certainly considder myself more professionally qualified and responsible than a £60k or £70k 'Brick Counter' - Sorry, "Quantity Surveyor".
Sensible :
No, I don't think that my heating engineer suddenly becomes worth a lot of money when my heating breaks down - But HE does. And he charges me extra for it. Plus when he doesn't turn up at said time he probably won't get a stripping down from anyone. Another point is that my plumber told me that he tries to clear £500 per day (excluding emergencies) - So that puts your humble plumber on £30,000 pa plus extra 'bonuses' for call outs.
Simmy : Not so.
Mowgli : And I thought that me reaching my £1,000 overdraught limit every month was unusual - You are not alone believe me, there are lots of us out here struggling in the 'bayback zone' !
OzDude :
So put the fares up 3% and we can all have a 50% pay rise - Yippee !!!
