As I am sure you must realise Humpy, your "£27k is more than I earn" is not a good graduate wage in London. My son's starting wage in London when he left university, was 44k.
That's because I chose to work in the Civil Service. I know plenty of people from Uni who work in the private sector and don't anywhere near £44k, because not everyone cares just about earning a big wad. We don't all decide to become lawyers/bankers/management consultants/other milkround jobs. Outside those sorts of areas, graduate pay is much closer to £27k than £44k.
Your son did well to get such a good starting wage.
I went to a Comprehensive school, I do not know what 'types' you are implying here. I got myself into Oxford with the help of good state education, not the old school tie. I am the first perosn my family to get into Oxford, and only the second in my near family to go to University at all.Politics is not the art of the possible.

I was thinking more of the type of person the comedian Alan Carr, said went to Oxbrigde. He said he got there as he couldn't find a girl that would have s e x with him.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

If he was looking for a girl to sleep with him, how does that make him a homosexual? RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

Oh, I see, you are trying to imply I'm a homosexual. Wrong again.Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable. J. K. Galbraith0
