molgrips you have no idea what i'm on about. i couldn't give a sh*t that people earn more than me, i'm just happy to be alive.
and as for the comment about how many could be firemen etc i'd like to see the top brass at the banks be a fireman and have to cope mentally with what they do. and to be honest i reckon there are plenty of people who could do what top bankers do if they were given the opportunity. it only maths at the end of the day..........ok with a fair dollop of greed.

That's not the point. It's HOW MANY can do the job. Actually, it's more accurate to ask 'how much do you have to pay people to do the job?'
nd to be honest i reckon there are plenty of people who could do what top bankers do if they were given the opportunity
They do have the opportunity. Bankers are big employers, all you have to do is apply to one and work your way up. That's what the top brass did.

Lol - understanding FAIL!
so molgrips.. are you advocating the 13k per day salaries that some of these guys award themselves as fair and just in these troubled economical times..?
all you have to do is apply to one and work your way up. That's what the top brass did.
lol... understanding or gross oversimplification fail 🙄
My Brother and his Missus both work for Barclays Wealth, they both received their best bonuses to date a few weeks back!
I know it's nice to look after your employees, . . . . but if they'd have received no bonus at all they'd still be working there, they're good jobs. I'm sure they'd have wrote it off as," ah well, Barclays are not giving me a bonus this year because the government are on their back".
That grates with me a little . . .
. . . . meanwhile, I do an important job for a small family firm and I'm on a 20% pay cut for a month or so, and haven't had a bonus for two years, and that was only £250!!!
