It was a 1% pay rise not pay cut.

I'd love a 1% pay rise myself - I'm still in the same job as I was in 2009 but my pay is marginally lower (despite having most of the 10% pay cut we took reinstated) and I now have to spend about £200 a month extra on fuel as we had our private fuel benefit taken away so forgive me if I don't cry for the hard working state workers.

Sadly, fuel is the killer for most as many people spend 100-200 per month just getting to work.
In an ideal situation people would be able to claim the tax off that fuel bill back as the journey is directly related to work and not personal.

Twitter stuff? Anyone got any new jokes? or even slightly humurous ones? We heard all those ages ago and they weren't that funny then really. Posh bloke eh? Raaah-raah-raah we're going to smash the oiks. Was that it? :roll:

All three of them must be mightily upset.

Perhaps they could ask their colleagues to stop throwing sickies and pull their weight ?

In an ideal world people would live within walking/cycling distance of work. In this world it can be virtually impossible as I have found out to my great displeasure, and now have to spend 90 minutes a day sitting in a f**king car driving to the next town, while people from that town drive to my town to work. :evil: :evil: :evil:

6 minutes walk to work...... unfortunately I sleep 3,400 miles from my home in the UK

George Osbourne is a last minute draft for the captain of the Titanic 2 as he could not be promoted due to his untimely demise whilst captain of the Titanic.

Given what forum this is, perhaps someone might be able to come up with an alternative.

They inherited an appalling mess from the last crowd, massive debts and pretty negative global conditions. They have very little room for manoeuvre and IMHO are doing a pretty good job in the circumstances. I think we are still better off than 90% of people alive on the planet right now, we have water, sanitation, food, shelter and security

The military will only receive a 1.45% increase in basic pay in May, which is still below the rising cost of living.
