    I was a permie (oh the shame!) IT manager () back then, £55K + car. And that was when AtW was still at school, you could buy a brand new 5 bedroom detached house for £100K.

    Now the IT salaries are the same but the house will cost you £600K.

    No wonder I made a million with property.

          20 years ago I was a geography student going on so-called field trips to Italy, Portugal and so on, which were actually just pub crawls with good weather, all paid from your taxes. Thanks!
