Just to please Figgy, or possibly to feed her paranoia, I'd like to share this little gem with you. On the BBC website today, they showed a comparison of wages, with a clever little calculator gadget so that you can put in your own figures and see where you sit, compared to the average of your country, and the rest of the (civilised) world.
Guess who was at the top of the scale? No, not America, it was Luxembourg.
Figgy, are you shivering? Do you have goose-bumps? Yes, you are being haunted by Luxembourg.
Here is the page - obviously this is just a screen shot, so you can't input your own figures on it:
...but if you follow this link, you can go to the webpage, and you can (if you are so minded) put in your own country and your own monthly wage, and see where you sit.
Fun, huh?
I was wondering how much the average Lux wage is affected by having Andy and Frankie living there? After all, it's a small country with a tiny population, so those two must represent a significant proportion of the high earners, I would have thought?
OK, I might possibly be joking...
