I guess it all depends on whether your job role is defined as an IT role or not. 


Despite spending 116% of my time developing databases and fraud detecting applications, my job isn't technically an IT role.  I'm a functional specialist.  So despite doing an IT development role for which I would get paid oodles, I'm doing a nice, cheap generic non-specific job.


Move to Bristol, Joe.  We have turnips here!

So you don't fancy Bangalore then, Joe.  I hear it has plenty of sun (in the dry season).


Our unions are making a huge fuss about this outsourcing to India thing.  Possibly too huge.  So far all we've moved are a few minor operations - by coincidence we closed down a call centre in Newcastle at around the same time.  So the unions are jumping up and down saying that all the Newcastle jobs were moved to Bangalore.  In actual fact, the Newcastle jobs were moved to Plymouth and some new jobs were set up in Bangalore doing completely different stuff.

Saw a quote last year that NHS IT jobs are 30% - 50% below private sector too, so I'm guessing you just make the minimum wage?

The North American Guinness supply is generated at the Molson Brewery in Toronto. I can see the logic.

The only place outside of Ireland where you can get genuine black and white stuff if somerset - thats because they can ship it, sell it and drink it within the 6 weeks before it goes off.


Everywhere else has preservatives added so it lasts longer but it ruins the taste and texture.


Am I sad for knowing that much about it? the votes are in and the answer is probably.

Just a little bit more than the minimum - cuz i got l337 5k1llz - but not much more!


Cornwall just doesnt seem as interesting to me as canada/USA, despite the guinness disparity across the atlantic.

Don't see why you're so down on Cornwall.  It has lots of ... um... tourists...  er... rugged coastlines...   um... farmers...
