    Graduate jobs are paying that (https://uk.indeed.com/Graduate-Accou...eff98855a7e9fc) straight from Uni.

    FYI, this is where an accountant would look for a job (https://www.gaapweb.com/searchjobs/?...ocationId=None) GAAPWEB is the IT equivalent to Jobserve
    Cool! A job in the Falklands!

    prerogative is strong with you old folks

    Haven't checked with him but probably hasn't filled any of those yet.

    West London by the way.

    Not quite sure if that was the reason for failure. Do you have a source for your figures?

    How familiar are you with the 'plutonomy' term? CPI calculations etc?
