OMG can you believe it. No1 at the firm I am a massive loss. Everyone is in tears. Been offered a lot more money from National Grid.

Starting salary 47k before allowances and overtime. Most are earning 60k plus per year. They have been after me for 2 years now.

All HV lines, I will quickly become No1 so not such a hardship.

They have already made a song for me. Told you it wouldn't take long...

There’s a lot of tension at the NG, high tension

Congrats.
47k, for YOU? Surely a mistake

Never mind the salary, what's the pension like!!
Will you be up the Millikens?

Pension is even better, I think I can transfer my original one into the new one but unsure of that. I might have to draw it down.

Think this is more apt

Good on you.

Too often people moan about their wages but don’t do the obvious thing and find a better paid job
