I earn less than Mrs S and Miss S spend. Sigh.

Actually this isnt quite true. It's what Mr Osborne spends that tips us over the edge.

Manners are Important! Do not ask personal or intimate questions, such as:
How much money do you earn?
How much do you weigh?
Why aren't you married?

Also:
Do not greet people with a kiss.
Avoid talking loudly in public.
It is impolite to stare at anyone in public.
Do not ask a lady her age.
Do not pick your nose in public.
Avoid doing gestures such as backslapping and hugging.
Do not spit.
Do not burp in public.
Do not pass wind in public.
It is impolite speak with your mouth full of food.

i was with you until the last 6 lol

This one really annoys me!
What you make in a day a week or a month is not what you earn. You tell them you make £1000 in a day sometimes and they think you pocket £1000 for a day. Its bollox.
Your average Joe who is employed thinks of that as your top line on a wage slip less taxes the same as them and have no idea what an overhead is.
They are fuvkin idiots.
If you feel you need to tell them anything, tell them you work 18 hr days, manage to pay the bills and if you are lucky get a holiday and have enough left to keep the taxman from knocking your door down and throwing you on the street.
Its all they need to know.

One guy (very well educated) I worked for in recent times, said that a plumber like myself is only worth £80 - £100 total per day self employed to cover everything. Yet he earns approx 60k.

Did you turn round to say well I earn £80-100 per hour depending on what the customer is like!

Fair play to anyone who does well out of this game tho as my mate says who is a QS for a large building firm earning serious ££££'S
You could be high flying contractor one week but by the time i have finished with them they are penniless or bankrupt .

I am happy with what i can squeeze out of this
