You lot ? Whos you lot ? Many full time stock farmers sticking 50k plus in the back pocket for 40hr week ? 50k used to be to dream of its normal now you and others that say things like folk cant afford meat etc need to wake up and see whats going on outside farming , farming is getting left in the dust . And remeber many house holds have two incomes if not 3-4 , look at the amount of second home owners and wanabe property developers etc the country is a wash with money .I think you lot sometimes don’t live in the real world don’t forget unless they’re self employed lay will be paying 33% of their wages straight to the government So that £50k job is Only taking home £650 a week don’t get me wrong that’s a dam good wage but most people aren’t on now ware near that. And most places that pay that sort of money have rent / mortgage that would wipe half that straight out people these days have been encouraged to have everything on tik so not as much spare money as you might think no matter what lay try to patray to the wold
