Very slight thread-drift here. Shocking!!
I had a fruit-juice with an FR f/o last week near BHX and showed him my payslip from March 1989. (Newly appointed F27 f/o... and the company paid for the TR too) Net take-home pay £1218.44 and no loans or bond to repay.
That was over 20 years ago guys...
Progress?
Cheers anyway. bm.
