Whilst i agree with everything else you have said, this statement is a bit narrow minded.
I have no qualms about taking aavas if they are offered to me. I'm in the bottom third of the pay scale and as such sit next to some people doing exactly the same job but in some cases for almost half the pay.
An aava is a nice boost to my wages.
I, like many people in my "area" of the pay scale bought my house for stupid money within the last 5 years. This is by far my biggest expense. I wish i had had the opportunity to buy my house for 50 pence in the eighties or earlier like many people did.
As it stands, I do like the pot of gold, but it's not because I am greedy. It's a good bonus for a few hours work.
You said "greedy", I didn't. I said you liked the pot of gold, you agreed. So what is narrow-minded?
