    My dad was a top computer programmer and business analyst earning over £100 per HOUR, and this was in the 80's and 90's, so I daren't imagine how much that is equivalent too now!

    I work for minimum wage loading lorries or packing boxes etc and it takes me a few days to earn what he made in an hour, lol.
