CG,

If the Bus drivers, shop assistants in tesco, labourers in the car and steel works get big wage increases and bonuses in the good times then moan in the bad then yes!

Remember they can strike to decrease their wages and do not get 6 month jollies with added fireworks - you know where sympathy lies???

Gnd, perhaps I should have written in bigger crayon: THOSE WORKERS DON'T GET BIG INCREASES, OR BIG BONUSES!. They are not fat cats, so I don't get your drift. They get poor pensions too, by the way.

GND, so where are you going to work when you leave?


Well said CG - I left 4 years ago, work for a succesful private sector company but have only had one pay rise in that period (that goes for everyone else in the Company too). If you think its green out here in private sector land - it aint, but at least I have a job at the moment and a pension just in case.

No work for me, on PA and wife is rich!!! Might work in Wickes just for the staff discount on the paint for my mansion? (under 1 million so no inheritance problem either)

What I actually said was private sector with 25% increases and big bonuses - so - if the what ever occupation you chose to cloud the reply with get the above then - again - yes. If they don't I guess to normal people it stands to reason that they are NOT included in my distain?
Any other clarification? It is those that are in my tight and predictable bracket that seem to moan like union bosses or marginal politicians.

All this talk of no pensions increase is total rubbish. In April of each year I generally get an increase - and this year was no exception.

So, it's Champagne for everyone.

The increase was a grand total of 1p! And that's a 0.000656 % rise.

Feel tempted to send it back to help UK plc get over its massive debt problems.
