Surely that would make you purchase rather than rent. That's £21,600 dead money every year. Wow.

4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms in it's own private grounds for just under 1800 here.

I don’t rent Saff, I own my house. I’m looking to sell mine and possibly purchase a new build. The one we like isn’t being released until phase 2, so might not be available for another 9 months. I had this thought that we could sell ours and rent for 6 months, but that thought disappeared very quickly when I saw the price <laugh>

That's a very simplistic way of looking at it but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are doing it to wind @Treble and @Archers Road up.

If you look at an MP salary and a Nurses salary since 2011.

MP: £65K in 2011, £84K in 2022, % increase 29.6%
Nurse: £30K in 2011, £34K in 2022, % increase 13%

To keep track with MP salaries they would need a rise of £5K now, which equals a 15% pay raise. Which is a bit less than what they are asking for.

Surely all public servants should be treated the same way when it comes to pay rises. Of course we probably don't need to pay the nurses to keep their horses warm or repair their moats, but surely basic pay increases should be standardised across the board for state employees.

Nah...apparently its our own fault cos we knew the wages at the time....

**** knows how we were supposed to know we'd spend over a decade getting 1% payrises <laugh>
