It's not a matter of what you meant
it's a matter that you said "everyone" referning to the well paid. Basically forgetting about anyone with a low or medium income. even in your office I bet support staff out number lawyers, not to mention IT, telephony, security, cleaners, site managers etc etc. Now spread that to "the city" you've got millions of people who don't earn £25k even within the square mile. and you forgot they existed.

my original point was about the people with whom you socialise
it just so happens that i don't know a lot of people in those roles because i don't meet them, so therefore i don't socialise with them. how many bankers/surgeons/supermodels do you hang out with on a regular basis? does it make you an inverse-snob if the answer is "very few"?

besides if you took an average of wages across the whole of the city, i'd still be towards the bottom bearing in mind the number of people who earn telephone number salaries. partners in a law/accountancy firm can trouser anything from £500k-£1,000,000 a year, for example.
