    Market not much good in France?

    Just reading article about the 'Diary of a checkout assistant'.

    http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/l...cle5853437.ece

    The thing that really caught my eye was this:

    Richard, her husband, has benefited more. He was fed up with his job as an IT consultant on the French minimum wage of €8.71 (£7.73) an hour. “I told him that now we had a bit of money, it was time to learn to do something else.” He is training to become a plumber.

    Minimum wage? IT consultant? Sacre bleu!

          I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.
