    Poor you. People have ended it all for lesser indignities.

      Indeed. He's missed the other option that the data is so poor its not really worth the paper it's not written on. It's a great idea but it's reliant on data supplied by agents, you know the data I mean, the inflated rates that never materialise, the jobs that don't exist etc. All makes for a completely misleading picture unfortunately.

        Umm, I'm on nowhere that rate hence my laughing and it was just my rate back in 2000 in today's money, presumably going by inflation as per the calculator, rather than a rate I'd expect now.

        I'm fully aware of the imaginary rates and jobs, and take what most people say their rates are with a pinch of salt. From my experience rates are still down on the late 90s\2000s due to recessions, oversupply for the number of contracts going. This oversupply fuelled by people thinking easy money, which they find out isn't the case then so take lower rates - I could be wrong though.
