      Magaluf was 30c but not great I prefer the rain anyways.
      Looks like your glass is always half empty
      Jetting off to a tropical island later.

      Hope today's episode of JK is a good one and the JSA peeps don't cause you too much pain.

      Maybe, a little lube will help

            To be fair it's far easier to go on Google and download some pictures of a destination I am interested in and just whack the heating up.

            Sunnies on you would barely tell the difference.
            I guess my bragging rights would falter though but then buying a plane ticket is hardly anything to shout about

            Must dash need to get up early for Jeremy it's a special "who's the father my brother or uncle"

Having been offered a support role for 30k in 2001 I am astounded that simple inflation has not increased these same jobs to around the 45k mark. I regularly get emails and calls for the same 30k figure or less. Funny that putting a roof over your head in 2000 would cost you 150k but now it's 500k. Where does it give???

                Wow. Support for almost 20 years. Ambassador, you're really spoiling us with your skills.

                You know what they say about assumptions!

                    Jobs a job means to a end it gives me no pleasure, but you are missing the point
                    Why are jobs paying the same 15 years later regardless of skills

                      It's a fair question. It took me around ten years in this country to get to the salary I was making in the States when I emigrated; I've only surpassed it in the last few years. Probably the Bank of England are geniuses who've kept inflation under control and the already high prices here means nothing needed to change?
