    I chose to be a soldier as they chose to be tanker drivers if we do everything just for money then we end up with well paid people who hate their jobs - there are plenty of them. From highly paid mechanical engineer to infantryman and back to engineering because I wanted it that way. Would I drive a petrol tanker for 45 grand - quite frankly no.However, I have no desire for anyone tanker driver or other to moan about what I earn as a semi retired consulting engineer, hopefully we work in a free market, or are we advocating a fixed wage for all? Thinking about industry I have never met anyone yet that said hey I earn too much, yet when you read forums in newspapers everyone is up in arms about what other people earn - WHAT - all that for doing that? One might think that rather than complaining they would be posting off a CV! Perhaps some would say that because I get paid for what I know and not what I do being sat on my arse earning more money than.......! Where does it stop?

    I totally agree

    Good Response, I agree 100% I reckon our Boys would like 45k but would get bored with such a easy job.

    At the moment I'm reading a book on Prince Rupert by Charles Spencer.
    On page 267 whilst mentioning the foundation of The Royal Society it mentions the fact that ...
    The Fellows decided to match the king's enlightened mindset and forbade the discussion of religion or politics at their meetings.

    Which as already mentioned on this thread we also do.
