At £20 per hour you must have worked between 5000 and 12,500 hours
last year to make £100,000 to £250,000. That's working an average of
between 100 and 250 hours per week (with 2 weeks' holiday).

But hark! There are but 168 hours in a week. That gives an absolute
upper limit on your earnings on £168,000, provided the £20 per hour
average is about right.

Methinks thou dost exaggerate thy earnings somewhat. Verily, there is
a whiff of bull**** about thy person.




You really are one sad *******

I find it incredible to believe that you have absolutely no understanding of
business - perhaps that's all we should expect from a primary school
teacher. If you believe that making a profit by buying cleverly and then
charging the customer the going rate for the materials is "ripping people
off", then I'm afraid you are in for a bit of a shock. EVERY business does
that, from the local newsagent. your local pub, etc., all the way through
to McAlpines or Kier.
I find it staggering that someone so clueless could be in charge of the up
and coming generation's education.

Are you really. really, a schoolteacher?

I expect you will find that he knew very well why his business was doing so
well. Unfortunately. either you did not *want* to believe that that was the
case - or you could not *understand* why it was.

Either - or even both - will be true.

Yes - it is truly amazing how all the people who paid for the work are
perfectly happy with the quality of it; and yet ****wits who know nothing about

ignorance.


I cannot understand it.

Oh dear oh dear. Cwispin confirms that he isn't a maths teacher or an
economics teacher.

First of all, I've never claimed to earn £100,000 +, just considerably
more than a failed, middle aged primary school teacher.


But hark! There are but 168 hours in a week. That gives an absolute
upper limit on your earnings on £168,000, provided the £20 per hour

But of course it isn't, but your simple little mind couldn't grasp that.


Methinks thou dost exaggerate thy earnings somewhat.


Since I have never stated what my earnings are - one would have to be
very, very stupid to do that - I can't have exaggerated them can I idiot
boy?

Verily, there is

Verily, there is a whiff of stupidity about yours.

Cwispin clearly thinks that his local cycle shop charge him cost price
for spare parts when he has his child's toy mended.


I find it staggering that someone so clueless could be in charge of the

It is a big worry isn't it?
