I've seen this house I want

[eek]

NOt sure what your point is. I work from home and see my child all through the day.
In any case, you wouldn't get into a top City firm, not enough up top.

And that is relevant how? You have a strange idea that I ever wanted to work in the City.

I did for a year prior to university (my choice in a specialised part of a Top 3 accountancy firm) and I never wanted to do that ever again so I've always avoided it since graduating.

Meanwhile I'll continue to pocket the money I currently earn doing virtually sod all until I die or sell up. Which is one of the serious advantages of creating products that do the work whether you are awake or asleep.

Yes but if Doodab is on the housing ladder in his area, he'll be able to go and buy anywhere in the world for cash, with a nice large sum left over.
Those who are on the (good areas of) London housing ladder are seriously lucky

Assuming they got onto that London housing ladder early enough, no doubt. Getting onto it now is a different matter, and no longer all that profitable.

Maybe your girls would much rather they saw you during the week than go to a "top fee-paying school".
Only saying, like.

Not all the good schools are in London you silly bigot.

Like I've often observed, that whooshing sound round your head must be deafening.
