My apologies Meal Chucker. I wasn't having a pop. My wife's much of the same opinion as you - she's happy to work as part of the service and increase her productivity, but, like many people, her outgoings are based more or less on what she currently earns so a paycut is bottom of her list.
You're right also - I think he/she'll blow a vein if they carry on being quite so angry!
