Can you point me to this “general rule” you speak of? Or are you making baseless assumptions, another of the sweeping generalisations that are a staple of your decreasingly credible posts?

A Tube driver gets 50 and doesn’t even have to steer.

My money is on (as a general rule, indeed) the grass being more often greener for people on 45 grand than 25 grand, just as it is for those on 25 compared to those on 15.
It sounds to me that you begrudge the train drivers their higher salaries than you are getting, although I note that you are not yourself a train driver. I wonder why not? Too much responsibility? Too many unsocial hours? Lack of concentration?

We can both do insults, jfman. Let’s try to debate the actual subject … if you dare!
