31st/32nd but I'm on pretty much what they quote and I'm not fully qualified yet 
and I'd expect to get more like twice what they state eventually.
[edit] Read it properly this time... Make that 12th with aspirations on 4th

104th.
And paid £6000 more than they show (probably due to the fact I do 48hours as 4 nights every 8 days) - so about right.

Ditto, well will be when I graduate next year, 'only' starting on 24k though
Can't really blame immigrants entirely though, at the place I'll be working there are ~50 people, of which 4 aren't english, it's more down to just the vast increase in people doing computer science type degree's I think...

Why do you suspect immigration for this? I'd have thought it has more to do with outsourcing to other countries.

Plumbers £24,000 when they charge £50 an hour ?
That's what they declare to the tax man
Terrible table there, so small. Also there should be one in order of rank, just for interest.
True but a lot of Indian IT professionals still come over here to work as well - believe it or not, but it's quite hard to run an IT service from India where none of the developers actually know what their customers are talking about
Often when Indian IT people come to the UK on a long-term project the company will hire then a 1 bed/studio flat for them and expect them to work on Indian IT wages (~£12k I think). Funnily enough when they find out how bad they are getting screwed they leave fairly sharp-ish, and as they already have a visa, they get another job easily. After 5 years they can become British citizens or something I think?
This annoys me a lot more than offshoring, because I don't think there's anything that can be done to stop that, however the government should be doing more to protect its citizens from this sort of exploitation of immigration.
My job lists as £26k average, my company charge £165 + vat per hour for me ( I am good though
