not huge but not rubbish either. What I have a bigger issue with is that on these sort of salaries its almost impossible to buy a house and then to afford to run it.

should we have a maximum? no way! how do you drive people to perform better if they can reach a point where they get no reward for that effort? Without that this country is right royally stuffed
I agree with you. No way should we have a maximum wage.

At least no-one is working for a pittance these days thanks to the mimimum wage. My first job paid £40 for a 40 hour week. That's £1 an hour. At least you don't get that these days.
