    PS I'm not from Manches tor
    Where you from then?

    What GCSE stuff do I say?

    My rates are always 400-600 on average, depending on location. And I can't believe for one second that when I've mentioned this I've been "bragging" - cause I'd be the first to point out that it's just the market, it's not me being "worth it" or any better than anyone else. Everyone who works in my field gets paid the same.

    You lot are such a bunch of brain snobs though - why do I have to know the financials market or politics or have word of the day toilet paper to be worthy of a good wage for my job?

    Bagpuss - you're from Manchester ffs - us in the North didn't all grow up with a public school education, with fathers who read the Sunday Times accross from us at the breakfast table... I'd expect more from you than this "keep the lower class thickos in their place" attitude towards earnings.
    Very disappointed in you.

    Hey steady on! Just goes to show you don't need an IQ or education to make good money!

    Interesting news to all the professional people in London fighting over £200/day contracts with their £700K mortgages on city apartments.

    Apart from the public sector, what sort of client is going to hire someone like SA on £68/hr?

    You is 'aving a larf!
    Soon there wont be any other employers than the public sector!

    Better brush up on those race relations questions

    If a large proportion of savers in the UK withdrew their deposits the banking system would go bust. Only around 10% of 'money' exists as cash.
    Would you feel any better off with an interest rate of 4% and inflation at 5%? I suspect most people would, even if they are worse off.

    Does anyone provide a real rate of growth figure for money left compounding in a bank? Anyone left money in a bank long enough to see it grow in real terms?
