20% reduction for anyone earning above £30K pa. That’s hardly a massive wage in today’s money. Down to £24K, not great for those with mortgages, children etc.Quote:

I'm assuming that people earning a few thousand over £30,000 would only have their wage cut to exactly £30,000. Otherwise it would be really unfair.
Not always, but usually a degree of common sense applied in these situations to avoid anomalies happening, as mentioned above and I am sure Cormack would play fair.
It's maybe not great to have your pay cut, but better that than to lose your job. £30k a year isn't to be sniffed at when compared to £75 a week fae the broo.
We live in an inflated bubble.Quote:

I remember reading a few years ago that if you were earning more than the UK average (27k at the time if I recall), you were in the top 1% of the worlds earners.
Puts it in perspective how lucky we are.
I think those are household income stats to boot
Indeed, there are many poorer people out there, no question.Quote:

The fact of the matter is that if the main breadwinner earns £30,000 treats such as this are few and far between, if there are children and mortgages involved.
Eating out when you have a young family was always an extravagance.
I would have said “treat” but if you have a squad of kids then you’ll understand why I didn’t.
