    Funny though, I always thought 'Inreach' Worker would be a better career for a lesbian.

    Salaries are 18% higher in the Public Sector, mostly because there's very little private sector left.
    Sounds about right and they've the cheek to think of striking again, Civil Serpents can't believe I actually used to be one

    Not to my knowledge, in my view people are all to concerned with what they're due rather than getting out there and making opportunities for themselves. The cities are ok it's just deep in the valleys where they are so insular about it all
