    Is there some point to you continually asking stupid questions?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Why?

    A footballer could answer £3,200,000 for December 2015 and a supermarket shelf filler could answer £1,400 (because of Xmas overtime)... so what? What does it prove?

    I'm trying to remember. It may have been 20p. Or maybe it was £17 billion...

    Actually, I think it was somewhere in between.

    Mine are all the same size, about 3 inches by 6.

    Well, it depends on how you define "pay packet"....


    If we are talking about an electronic payment, such as a bank transfer, then I would say that the size is probably a few hundred kilobytes as it would effectively be an encrypted data transfer.

    If we are talking a physical pay packet then I'm afraid that I have never been paid in £50 notes, so the biggest would have been the size of a £20 note; roughly 15cm by 8cm but probably the size of a small envelope which is slightly larger than these dimensions.

    Never had a pay packet in my 38 years of employment, always paid directly into my bank a/c

    Would have to be the time that Payroll ran out of the normal sized envelopes so they used A3 envelopes instead, they were huge.

    It's an MSE data collection bot. I don't understand why people keep responding to it.
