SGCWill said:the average wage on UK mainland might be 26K, but you'd have to be a manager to get that kind of money over in here in northern ireland. a girl who has been working here for 14 years is gettin paid 15.6K a year, where as her opposite in england is getting paid 21K for doing less. yes taxes are really high, but the problem is the pound really, if we used the euro they'd have to lower prices, because that would mean there would be no point in buying from UK as it would have a huge negative difference in export power than what we do in pounds - dont forget when they outlaw cigarettes, they lose tax, and eventually those health nuts will get rid of spirits, then beers then wines and it'll be civil war i tells ya
Just look at here, we pay about 35% more for car insurance "because it is a state at war", thats like saying america should pay 35% more because they ****** off the world, thats hardly fair, sure look at smirnoff and budweiser, they're made in THIS country, thats right, that fresh brewed bud and russian wodka are made in northern ireland, and yet we pay a huge premium on them. I'm want this country to remain part of the UK, yet I can't help but wonder what the place would be like if it was "one ireland". (obviously i would want rid of a certain political party, as their members are murdering, bom'bing batyards)
Just surfing and read this, you don't need to be a manager at all to earn that kind of money. I am just a normal IT tech and earn almost as much. And my manager is on about 38k. Pay all depends on where you work my friend.
And trust me, we will never leave the UK as Ireland cannot afford to keep us, and you dont wanna be using the euro. Have you spoke to people who live down south? Everything costs a bomb so to speak.
