Yes I do. It pays what it does and I am thankfull for that, I am not complaining about
what I am getting, cause I know it was I am intitled to (and it is not in a fast food
outlet).

No, I am not jealous, I am annoyed at how they are holding this country to ransom.

Why? I this arguement wasw about the the coal miners, then I would also post my
oppinions, but that is not what the issue is here.

Well, at least someone is willing to do the jonb for what is on offer. What the SCABS
might get is still more then enough to survive on. I know that when peole get a good
paying job, they extend everything to the extent, that if they lost this job, they can
not survive on less pay. I know, cause most of the poeple I know also do this and I
even do this to a degree. Yes I do owe more then my income, but am living with it. and
if my income went down, I could adjust to suite.
