Liam,
Most house staff would love to get a B scale salary, why do you think we lost so many of these guys back a bit earlier this decade, the pay was poor. To quote one of the guys who left, Champagne lifestyle on beer money. If you know any of them left in CX ask to see their JSS pay slip, I know this was done some years ago when a certain FO did not believe how much a Prince earned until the pay slip was shown. We would all like more but look around and smell the grass, been in the US or Europe recently? Not pretty.
