We are 'privilege days'?
We don't get them

They're for those that work in the civil service (ie directly for the Crown). Hence they don't apply in local government because you aren't civil servants.

I've cheered myself up no end listing these!!!!

Although the contributions are comparatively small, the civil service pension scheme is contributory

Wow this is fascinating. I think its disgusting how poorly paid people are in this country.

I'm not particularly desparate to share but I feel obliged to now I've read all yours...

Hi
I'm 35 years old and am a classroom support worker in a college, earn approx 8000 a year.
Lows - low wage
Highs - lots of holidays although on fixed term contract so not paid for summer hols,(10 weeks)! Completely love my job and find it very satisfying
I think some on here should consider themselves very lucky financially and I expect they do and have worked hard for it

Jenny, I was where you are, decided I could do the teachers job, so at 40 went to UNI, got a teaching degree and am now in second year of teaching. Best thing I ever did, still pants pay but at least I love my job.

It's true.


Well in that case .... £41k !!!!! what the h*ll do you go on strikes for?? Is 43 days holiday not enough!!

Oh thats a bit harsh...there are more to this than just the train drivers going on strike. The unions tend to be poor and make strange decisions...but even though the train drivers get a good wage the others who do the jobs around them and keep the service running too don't get such a great wage. The benefits of own and spouse's free travel (on that line or 75% off on others) is the good bit.

I personally am not working (SAHM to a toddler) so my income is a big fat £0 but my OH is a train service engineer and he is on £21K so that has to hold up the family (not as easy as you'd think). Even though the train drivers do get good money the others don't really - and my OH does really long and unsociable hours. Spare a thought for the drivers though, i know more of them than you'd think have had to deal with more than one suicide - yes that is someone jumping straight out in front of you, and you cannot do a thing to prevent it - and to add to it all its a dead boring really unsociable job with long and weird shifts.
