              As I said, a Dollar a Day is not unusual, and is in fact the World Banks definition of the poverty line. Earn more than $1 a day and you are officially not poor...

                  But with that 50p he'll be able to buy a helluva lot more rice and chapatti flour than you can in your local shops.

                    Everybody who earns over 110k go to that range. Try to put 999999999999999999999999999 pounds a year and you'll be in the same range as someone making 110k. Yet, there is some kind of difference between let's say Bill gates and someone who makes 110k a year.

                      No there isn't. I HATE THEM EQUALLY! BASTARDS!!!

                      PS Actually I wasn't sure if we should put gross or net as somebody said above. I bet most earning 50p a day don't pay stinking taxes, lucky sods!

                      PPS Hire car/taxi drivers. Are you kidding? in third world countries I've been to taxi drivers always try and charge foreigners £10 a mile regardless of living standards. You argue them down but I bet they still get enough to feed a family of six for ten years.
