Hmm..... doesn't say if the original call is on a mobile or landline, also that's Canada so not sure if applicable here as I don't know if all phone systems are the same. I thought the ability to "stay on" someone's line was a quirk of landline phones rather than mobiles, no?...

When you say "all" do you mean ALL? I ask as I'd go for it if there was enough ready cash available in an instant should an emergency arise. And if you aim to die in it then it doesn't matter if it goes down in value not that I expect it would.
You'll be enjoying it day in, day...

Not hopeful for people in the long term. I watched a news report (Scotland) talking about remote controlled ships.

Not all firms are like this... my son and girlfriend are recent law graduates and also post "2 year traineeship"* which seems to be a law thing where they were paid about 26K. They're now both on 80K and don't work those types of hours but typically nearer 40-50. This is London based.

Hmm, I've got in my mind grads in general started on roughly the UK average salary, maybe variation based on location. This was the case for the firm I started with which was DEC, it was 1989 mind so before minimum wage so can't compare it like that and there were less of us with degrees, maybe things...
