    So this made you cry?

    Amazingly, it's not untypical. A starting salary for a developer (Java in this case) is between CHF 75K and CHF 90K. I was surprised. My first salary was £11,309. Tell your kids to learn German, move to Switzerland under Freedom of Movement, and fill their boots... oh... hang on...
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      On the contrary. I'm delighted to see someone benefit.

      Congratulations.

          As I wrote back in January on the Shares thread ...

          BP at 328 after the another Great Fall of China, pushing yield up over 7%. Screaming buy.
          So I bought, and as costs are in GBP and revenues in USD, plus Brent recovering, price has risen steadily since Brexit vote, now at 455.

          Just about offset the losses on my bank and building shares. Taylor Wimpey is now screaming at me at 121.

          My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

            So for you, Brexit is win win. That's nice.

              The pound is STILL higher against the Euro than it was 2-3 years ago, hardly into unknown territory.

                  Well obviously. But when you're holidaying in Europe that's what matters.

                      One of the best reasons for delaying Article 50 I heard from one of the Brexit leaders was so that people could still go on their holidays and afford it Presumably that means that after Article 50 has been enacted then British people either won't be able to afford going on holiday or at least won't be going to Europe on holiday...
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
