Justagiglio77 - oh the pain, the wretched 'abomination' that £100k per year is too low a salary for you to live on. You clearly have a job that wants to pay you more than that for less work, and I heartily recommend you hang on to it. For the more rational among us, you may be interested to know that the average executive in the UK (the highest paid group of employees) gets paid £120k per year. The average UK pilot gets paid £78k and the average UK annual salary is around £27k. I am a simple soul, but it seems to me that a salary of £100k is bearable.
