The article implies that allowances aren't accounted for, in which case that figure is actually higher. A lot of other professions, of course, have big bonuses, expense accounts and other perks so our ranking may not be accurate either.
It's also worth thinking about the sustainability of our high salary, the world will always need and value doctors and policemen, will we still be on £65,000 in 30 years?
And while I'm at it, our salary has been based on us retiring at 60, now we can work til 65, our salaries may come down to refect this, you can be sure our DFO's are thinking the same.
