We've been to both Paris and Florida and my kids didn't particularly like either of them- "not as good as Chessington". .

I pre-registered for it ages ago but haven't received my download yet. Im in the "anything must be better than Windows 8.1 camp"

Doesn't the season start on Saturday? Only a month ago he said they'd have 11,500 by then.

I saw one report that reckoned they would probably be able to tell whether it was a controlled ditching or a falling out of the sky. Presumably because the flaperons would be down in a ditching and exposed to the full force of the water.

If you were talking about paying staff more in a cash limited essential service where more staff pay equals less service I'd agree its more morally ambiguous. In a business that is paying Ramirez £70,000pw, its pretty clear cut. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/9879668.Saints__agree_record_fee_for_Ramirez_/

Which part of "minimum wage or near to it" aren't you grasping? You aren't cut out for logic, that's the deficit.

Okay lets make it abundantly simple. The living wage is only £7.85 and the club have not yet agreed to honour that.

Probably best to read a little then. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150330-southampton-financial-results-2013-14-2367070.aspx Some players are on £50,000 pw, the Club made a £33m profit, wages overall went up 35% last year but some employees are still on minimum wage or near to it.

If you have nothing to add to the debate about whether it is reasonable for this football club to pay some employees £1,840 per hour and some £6.50 on a casual basis then you can of course remove yourself to the Is Ronnie at the airport?" thread.

It isnt. The only definition by which GDP per capita is currently higher than 2007 is at constant prices, an unusual and little used measure. GDP is usually measured by US$ or by Purchasing Power Parity. By both of those we are still lower than 2007.

Err none. Just as you aren't responsible for making sure your suppliers comply with their other obligations under UK laws. I'm not sure why you are throwing in red herrings unless its to justify an untenable position. You disagree with bringing in the living wage, fine. Just don't try to bolster that position by pretending its an unworkable idea. Having a proper grip on who your suppliers are and their business practices is good practice though. You avoid reputational risk and if done well like John Lewis or M&S you get improved market share and margins.

Basically "I cant confirm or deny but join the dots together" then.

Thanks very much!

What did he say? I only caught the end part in Dutch

I agree with both of those points. However he name has come up in five separate abuse investigations by five different police forces. There is bound to be speculation

You do know the law applies to everyone right? and that includes sub contractors. How do I know my subcontractors aren't murdering babies, its too tricky to tell so there shouldn't be a law against it. If only someone had invented something like a police force, or a civil court.

Ignoring inflation is a wonderful thing. Yes there is current real wage growth but that comes about after a prolonged period of real wage reduction. Average wages in 2015 are only just approaching in real terms what they were in 2007. Similarly with GDP per capita, its still below 2007 on a PPP or constant exchange rate basis.

Its good, makes the day special
