Diamond Pool Finishers

i was thinking today about this world after hearing about Gary Barlow and how much he has to hide , he is in a completely different world to most, then i had to pay a barrister £1000.0 pounds for 1/2 hours work , then expert witnesses on £ 85 an hour, some of the other tradesmen earn more that us, and some less, no ordinary working person will ever get to the footballer/pop star sort of stage, its all gone mad to me really who is worth what ????:thumbsup:

I was working in a house and the sparky took grate pleasure in telling me how he wouldn't get out of bed for less than £250 a day !! and how he was worth every penny....

I told him if he was earning that much he could afford a dust pan and brush and sweep his bloody mess up..lol

was he worth his £250 a day.....imo no, but its human nature to get as much as you can earn or get away with..

You get paid the best money when you are top of your game. Going back quite a few years when I was employed I worked in technical sales and won a large contract. I was handsomely paid for 2 consecutive months December and January fortunately. I earned with the commission just over £25k for those 2 months and I'll tell you something, I would love to be earning that sort of money every month. You start to live according to your income. Alas, it won't happen again in this game anyway. I earn a third of what I previously was paid but I'm less stressed, master of my own destiny and try not to put too much pressure on myself.
