    more generally, if "anyone" can be replaced by lowskilled/foreign/non-english-speaking person, "they" aren't worth as much as they think
    Tube drivers anyone? Oh hang on, their Labour backed militant union workers with protected jobs.

      good point - if you don't want to work for £30pd housed an overcrowded flat you could always get a 40k perm job, but nobody here would be able to live on that either, right?

            It's always about the money with you.

            I went contracting for the variety of projects. The improved pay is a bonus and fair recompense for the uncertainty of the work.

              They had brains to keep union that keeps their nice permie jobs. They did not buy into "you will be your own boss as a contractor train driver, higher rates etc"

                English is a fantastic language where the singular and plural of "you" is the same word, which allows for misunderstandings between hostile strangers across the internet

                  Obviously they forgot to teach you about full stops when you were learning it.

                    Yes, so you really want to be sure when you say it meaning everybody, like this -
