I've never met anyone who earns less than that
who has English as their first language.

Yes you have.

Ok, sometimes
you get people born in England working in McDonalds.

You go in McDonalds?
Ew.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:50, archived)

Only to have a shit

I don't believe you
you like to go and masticate reconstituted vomit with the serfs.

So what ?

( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:55, archived)

So your high horse is knee deep in the same mire as the rest of us
except me because I don't eat McDonalds.

?
What ?

So if I read lots of works of great fiction, then one day read a Nick Hornby novel because I was bored, I'd instantly become a philistine ?

Rubbish.

It counts. That and I'm sure you're just as shit as everyone else.

I see now
how your mental powers have lead you to be earning less than 20k a year : (
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 14:07, archived)

Only another 16 years to get to your level.
That's a ridiculously long amount of time, I'm sure I'll manage.

I started on 10k when I left uni,.
Two years later, I was on 11k. Before tax.

When was that ?
I started on £6k a year when I was 18 and that was 1988.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:48, archived)

My first job was 6k and then 11k in the next job (was there for 3 years when it climbed to 11.5k).

Do you ask everyone how much they earn?

( Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Tue 12 May 2009, 13:48, archived)

Yes
and if they dont tell me I hit them with a trout.

Smelly

My receptionist job paid me about £13k pro rata (21 hours a week),
which isn't that bad for that line of work. I've just applied for a council job that pays about the same, but full time.
