Let's see, my business, £2000 profit / 20,000 hrs. Hey! I am currently raking in 10p an hour! A least I don't pay much tax.

In my first job (as a perm) one of my colleagues worked out that it cost the company more of his time to sharpen a pencil, than the cost of a new pencil.
He therefore concluded that everyone should throw away blunt pencils and use a new one each time.

Work out how much you've made for Gordo in that 45 seconds and you'll not be so impressed....
After tax...never deal in before tax, it gets me too excited and leads to big disappointment!
And you're right...not so impressed with lining Gordo's pocket!

No!! Only 45 minutes actually!!!!!
There must be someone on this board that can write a quick programme that shows a penny jar with pennies (or pounds for some of you on here!) dropping in every second and filling up...then emptying into a pound jar every hour...if it could be done as a screen saver that would be fantastic...see how long it would take the clients to figure out whats going on!!
