Ah, I'd forgotten what this thread was actually about! Maybe all this wage bullshit is Ginge's way of hiding the fact that he reckonned all bus drivers deserved to get knifed in the face just for turning up to work!!

Money speaks though mate.

Stavros

so for the right cash youd chop your dad off for him?

AndyBrew

maybe for some, there is also something called "quality of life" which counts for an awful lot

AndyBrew

you're a clever fucker

If I was from Norwich maybe...


Exactly mate... Work hard, Play harder

Ginge !

mate i dont have to prove anything about my wages, i couldnt give a fuck if people think its bollox or not as it dont bother me

but lets work this one out

you think that someone with a 5 year old child living in central london on 15k a year could afford to go to the ring, do the piss ups, go away with the family, buy a cosse,, it gets nicked then buy a STI impreza for the ring trip, refit a new kitchen aswell as other stuff

oh 15k a year ???

the ring trip this year cost me 1300 quid i think, this aint " dreamland" as im sure people seen me there

just work them maths out for a moment and tell me that its possible on 12 to 15k ?

these are FACTS, not some made up shite

AndyBrew

work smart, play harder

Jim Galbally

hold on, you say london is a shit hole and the guy would be better off staying in birmingham?

are you FUCKING MENTAL? have you ever been to either city?

DanW@FastFord

iTrader: (1)

On 15K no. On credit yes.

Westy

Jim Galbally

Charlie Chalk

Andy Brew is from Leicester though!

So yeah, I'm happy working in London

DanW@FastFord

iTrader: (1)

I wouldn't work in London for £300,000!

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

Bollocks!

Stavros

I wouldnt work in London for £30!

Jim Galbally

bollocks wouldnt you

i'm not talking islington or brixton or anyting i'm talking about the financial districts

Westy

iTrader: (1)

absolute bullshit...! yo would be a fool not too. Or is a mag writer that well paid?

AndyBrew

I'm not doubting it for a second, it just amazes me what people get payed these days, my junior developer is on £22K per year I would imagine in London he would be earning £40K I guess, for me I have to find £50K per year worth of project work to keep him busy and he's a lazy fucker

I'm glad i'm in leicester!!

Ginge !

mate still have to pay that back mate,,,,, and not being funny but i dont do credit ( well apart from the loan for my windows)

would be a fool to get anything apart from IMPORTANT things on credit

i aint a single person living at home with the parents you know so dont think ill get away with 7k on credit for weekend

not to mention the 150 to 200 quid a month fuel bill and 100 quid a month insurance

Big G

Yeh, chatting more soup than heinz

AndyBrew

I doubt he knows

Ginge !

jim you couldnt afford to LIVE in islington mate, you understand where this is right ?

boris jonson lives a 1/2 a mile away, tony blair lived here before he moved to number 10, kate winslet used to live oppsite my mum ect ect ect

upper street for a night out

you know where is it yeah ?

Westy

iTrader: (1)

Brixton isnt exactly cheap either..!!

DanW@FastFord

iTrader: (1)

No where near that well paid!!!

But I hate London, and I'd never want to live there, and I'd never ever want to bring my family up there. Nor would I commute as I value my homelife too much. I go there occasionally for work, and I despise it.

As sad as it sounds I'm happy with my 'lot' in life. I'll never be a rich man, but I am a happy one.

Ginge !

yeah but its alot more to buy a house in islington

not to mention the city of london is there( part of it anyway)

Westy

iTrader: (1)

thats fair enouh Dan. I dont live in London either... but to work its cool.

AndyBrew

My company doesn't turn over £300,000 per year we will probably do £150,000 this year with 2 of us, and NO i wouldn't workin London for £300,000 per year why would I want to???

I live in 4 bedroom detached with double garage in the middle of the countryside, I wake up at 8.00am and I'm normally home for 5.30pm if the suns out 3.00pm why the fook would I want to work in London

you'd have to hit £500,000+ to tempt me away

yellowsierra

30k or 300k it dont make any differance
Its all about income over outgoings and the lifestyle that is dictated by whats left

Ginge !

i wouldnt live in luton either,,,, and i did consider it once


i got a mate who was brought up in tin town,, you been there pmsl

Westy

iTrader: (1)

yeah I know of afew from tin town.. coloured houses lol.

I dont live in Luton though Ginge.. albeit, pretty damn close lol

Jim Galbally

no hold on you called it a shit hole?

so now yo're saying you don't like it because it's too "busy" and full of people working too hard?

Big G

Whenever ive been in London, both through work or pleasure (if you can call it that) I have always come back stressed, just seems too busy and as though everything is rush rush rush,
Fuck that, rather stay oooop norf

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

Maybe I'm just a cunt, but I don't see how you wouldn't work for £300,000 a year.. Understandable about the family, but you could move to a far nicer area, and commute in. Its not THAT bad.

AndyBrew

who you talkin to jimbo????

Jim Galbally

ginge, i remember you giving me a lift home once and when we got as far as lewisham you thought it was the countryside

yes i know the area my Ex lives on the regent's park estate.

there's shit bits and good bits of every lonodn borough, i was just making a sweeping statement to make a point.

altho to be fair even the "ghetto" parts of bromley are tame

Ginge !

bollox, you look like a resident there ha ha ha ha

i thought he was taking the piss when he was telling me, houses with tin roofs ffs

ha ah ah ah

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

Himself I think

Jim Galbally

AndyBrew
