Where Do They Get It From

We now have to rejoice that we are low paid ..The low paid have done well .Okay if I'm so lucky why don't they just give me 200,000 a year and call me unlucky .

[ummmm]

Eh??

[Neveracrossword]

Do you have a link?

[Baldric]

What? Do you have a link that makes sense?

So is it good news or not that the lowest paid have achieved an average pay rise of around 5 or 6% because, in particular, of changes to the minimum wage

I haven't heard any minister or reporter using the word 'lucky' regarding this news item

But they wouldn't wouldn't would they

Are you thinking the figures should the figures have been withheld?. It's fairly good news for those who have benefited- a step in the rght direction- although it could have a less obvious knock on effect on costs and prices of some products and services and may have led to some job losses at the margin so maybe some of the lower paid have or will become worse off

Would you be willing to do what's expected of you for £200,000? Do you actually know what people who earn £200,000 are expected to do? I doubt it very much.

[weecalf]

Oh I knows

[naomi24]

You do? What do they do then?

[weecalf]

Can't tell you cause every one would want to get their hands on the money sorry
