As Nut has illuded to above, do you really think this about paying some people more? I suspect, in this climate and orgy of cuts, it's probably an excuse to pay the rest less. Ant 're-balancing' of pay scales is hardly likely to include more pay for those in expensive areas, is it? But I knew what you meant.
