well. i think that 2.6% in the current climate is a good award. especially when you consider the shenanigans over the rozzers pay rise.
having said that, you lot deserve every penny and more. its just a shame that all public sector pay rises are not 'real world' increases.
i hardly think that inflation will soar out of control by paying us all what we are actually worth.
ho hum, and stay safe.
