Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

[Moley]

Get back to work and earn me more benefits!

lol. You'll be one of the first up against the wall when society goes to pot.

Being a scrounger isn't really much to be proud of. I am hoping that this isn't the case with you and you're just going through a tough patch and will get back on your feet soon with some luck.

Telling everyone how much tax you’ve had to pay in a month just to show off and make yourself feel smug isn’t much to be proud of either.

Impossible, you're funding my apocalypse bunker

Imagine working so much you miss out on watching Jeremy Kyle clips on youtube.

Got my bonus as expected this month, just checked my payslip - £13k in tax.... sigh, I wonder how many dole scum families I'm financing this month....

You probably funded one or two of those scummy pensioners as well.

Well if they've already paid into the system for most of their life, I'm ok with that. What goes around and all that...

This is a thread about payrises. Discussing your pay is the whole point, silly.

Should have put more in your pension

I think you quoted me in error?

Don't know what you're buying but ours certainly hasn't doubled. Sure it's gone up but generally we still spend anywhere between £50 to £100 a week for the two of us depending how much booze/ random household stuff we buy that particular week. That was the case even 5 years ago, though we don't drink as much I'd say our "basic" shop is about £15 more than 2 years ago.

Thank you for taking the time to write that so I don't have to respond to @arknor 's nonsense.

Good to see the BoE (finally) dispelling the myth that public sector wage rises significantly increase inflation:-

When society collapses your fancy house and wealth will make you the prime target when the looting starts. The doley will rob the moley

Bunkers are flawed anyway. Us surface dwellers can just block up your vents and wait til you come up for air

Aye but on the other hand you are a 53 year old male flexing about it on a compooter forum.

Actually, now that I think about it, as a government employee his taxes are also paying my salary. Such a shame I took so much of his bonus!

And also going towards the mythical FRI

To be fair I also thank my mates taxes for paying my wages.

Which government department? I might not actually mind some departments having a bit more cash….
