    Is this one of those 'job swap' type things.

    I nominate Churchill. Here is the perfect opportunity for him to swap with a fluffer on a porn shoot (he can fulfill his lifelong dream) while said fluffer gets to earn £8 an hour as a contractor and tell people to f*** off on an internet forum.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

      People who think they are better then others just because they earn what they think is a high wage.
      So CUK is the right place to look after all.

        The purpose of the series is simple. We will follow a small group of talented individuals with contrasting jobs and salaries as they spend time experiencing and comparing each other’s working lives.

          I'd say you're grossly overpaid.

            but but, it sounds so genuine!!

            This series goes beyond tabloid stereotypes and instead of criticising high earners - instead looks at why different jobs are worth their wage. We want to challenge preconceptions about certain professions and break the taboo about revealing how much we earn.

              I think we should sign sign up for this. People who run businesses always get bad press, but this programme makes a refreshing change, painting them a good light.

              I'm surprised because obviously a programme that would show us up to be money grabbing lazy barstewards who don't really deserve what we get and we should be paying astronimical high taxes will get high viewing ratings and massively boost the career of the producer, whereas a programme that breaks preconceptions will probably get sod all.

We are particularly keen to find successful individuals willing to demonstrate the hard work, responsibility, working hours and pressure that comes with being a high-earner
                Honestly I do not do any of that. I get paid well because I can easily work on something the average grunt off the street would take decades to understand.

                    Before a Liverpool game.

                      Ah yes, back in the days when player wages barely afforded a plate of lobscouse.
