Maybe you should join a union? You might get cost of living pay rise?

A newly qualified doctor is seriously underpaid.

So the problem isn‘t what train drivers are paid, it’s what junior doctors are paid ?

The pay soon increases. It's rarely effective to make comparisons between jobs, you don't often get the full picture.

The fact that junior doctors, and many other public service jobs, are underpaid relative to their importance to society doesn't necessarily mean that train drivers aren't overpaid.

Not necessarily, one is underpaid and one is overpaid if we are comparing their worth to society

Just generally or anything specific? I had to Google her so clearly I don't know the irritation at this point ?

She does football commentary on Radio 5, I’m not a fan of her, she’s very old school in her style, almost Frank Bough lol which may please some but it ain’t for me.

Impatient idiots. 2.51pm yesterday, email requesting advice as to how a job should be submitted; 8.22am today, job submitted without waiting for the advice.
Not only will I have to reject the 3 unacceptable applications, they will also expect an email response & I'll probably get a whining phone call as well.

Ah the wonders of email. People expect a reply with the detail of a well considered letter in the timescale of a return telephone call.
After a 4 year wait finally got my appointment to reset and fuse my broken finger... alas will mean that will be the end of golf for a few months, missing the last few comps and our autumn jolly to Aberdeenshire and the 3 new courses we are due to play.

Perhaps I should call her Vicky Shouty Sparks.
She seems to think shouting a commentary is how you do it. She needs to listen to Eleanor Oldroyd or any of the male 5 live commentators.
I love listening to sport on 5 live, but I turn it off when V Sparks is shouting it.
Ah, okay. I'd agree with the irritation then
(I wasn't questioning, it's part of the fun of this thread that you know why any person irritates someone)

Indeed such comparisons are invidious. I would look at the consultants my company would employ to work alongside me, and were they worth the packet they were paid...was the job they did worthy of so much more pay than that of a doctor, well of course not. But that was what they were paid and that is simply the end of it.
