Nearly all MetO employees are degree qualified. The median salary is £30K.
It will be double that in ECMWF.

I wonder if that is why they're seen as the world leaders - i.e. attract the best by paying them well (and the tax benefits as well as the salary)?
MetO or ECMWF?

ECMWF. See net of tax salaries here - seems as though lowest starts around 2080/month net of tax.

You missed my irony, Scott. Teaching is an incredibly difficult job, beyond most in the MetO.

Especially with some ******* from OFSTED watching your every move.

You can never control your mouth, can you, hughes?

Inspection is necessary, to get the best deal possible for kids, but teaching is an amazingly complex and difficult job; as I said, far beyond most in the MetO. However, the pay may be comparable to teachers, after 10 years in the job, so why don't the MetO strikers who've decided decided their lot is not good enough, leave and re-train as maths and science teachers? If they are good enough, the teaching profession would love to have them........but they would have to be good enough. Pay teachers more; they do an incredible job, as do junior doctors in the NHS.

Call me hughes again and I'll rip your ****ing head off and **** down your throat. You get the gist.

Another one for the archive hughes. Plus your next post. I suspect alcohol, but, of course, that can't be proved. I also suspect a very, very, angry old man who has been prone to some many similarly difficult outbursts in real life. No-one has done anything bad enough to provoke those outbursts. After the first, you were still fuming, weren't you, so you had to go back to your computer and type another. I doubt you slept well.

You aren't, of course, capable of an apology, I suppose? It would be a shame if you can't. After those posts, you should leave this group and not return.

Of course I'm capable of apology; it's just that you, having polluted this group, are not going to get one.
No alcohol; I don't drink that early. After leaving a couple of messages for you I went down the pub where I am made very welcome by anybody who knows me (most of them) and it was such a relief to talk to normal people. If you went there then after a few visits no-one would talk to you and you'd give it up. This is how to deal with unpleasant people in the real world but unfortunately you are taking advantage of Usenet to express your vile personality and it's difficult to do much about it. Hence the positive need to be as rude as possible to the person who is rude to absolutely everybody. If you're offended that was the intention. After all, many of your posts only exist to cause annoyance. Another problem you have is an inflated view of your own knowledge of meteorology, which is actually very skimpy indeed. If there's a pecking order here you're down with the riff-raff. Try something else. Anything.

I am not sure that either 'culture' or 'coincidentally' is an
appropriate term in this context. It is not cultured behaviour
to use a word in such a way that it is offensive not only to the
individual to whom it is applied, but also to many other people.

Call him and his fellows anything you like that doesn't use the
names of female body parts as an insult to a male. You have ably
demonstrated that there is an ample supply of such alternative
words.

Anne Tudor is a gentleman (if that descriptive term is allowed to exist in this new world) and he only slipped into the vernacular because of one person. Actually two , he once got upset with me . However the fact the Tudor has shown his displeasure with my posts does not stop me for seeing the sort of bloke he is.. He is not the sort to persistently humiliate and deride or in his normal social intercourse be crude and offensive, There is only one culprit here. yet regardless I would forgive him his past if just once in a while he showed a sense of humour.

Please aim your fire at the cause and then have the grace to forgive ,

That's quite kind, Lawrie. Paul Garvey's personality is so vile, so insulting, bullying, arrogant, pompous (and tricky, what?) that coupled with the dismissive insults he throws around like confetti, I blew my top and the result may not have been pretty. That's his sole talent, bringing out the worst in people. Does he expect people to sit around and accept his overbearing poison? I think he does, such is his lack of self-awareness which also accounts for his total lack of a sense of humour. He knows nothing about weather and nothing about people. They are merely an impediment to Project Garvey (Self-Aggrandisement). What a stinker!
You say you'd forgive him, possibly. I would too if he showed one atom of awareness of the problems he has caused but there's not a flicker to be seen.
Did I have a go at you once? Sorry about that - must have been something you said a long time ago possibly before Dawlish was around to guide me on the art of insulting people properly.
As the saying goes, "there's enough material for a whole symposium there". A group member emailed me to say we'll have to put up with him until the men in white coats come to cart him away for a further bout of intensive treatment as they did a few months ago. With Dawlish absent it was like the sun coming out. And he was forgotten very quickly. But he came back and the sky went dark again.

Still posting? You have no shame.

And you feel any foul language is perfectly acceptable, if you don't like the person against whom you are directing it. There are no boundaries any more for you Hughes, are there?

Talk about losing the plot. Control yourself if you continue to post here would be my advice and you'd do well to take it.

Yes, that is the impression I have always had of him

and he only slipped into the vernacular because of one person.

I will do him the courtesy of saying that he probably had not
thought about the use of that word from a woman's point of view.
Now that it has been brought to his attention, I hope that,
being as you say a gentleman, he will avoid using it in that way
in future.

The same I seem to recall happening with perma-mild-mannered Mike Tullett. Odd that, isn't. And strange that the perpetrator would never ever wonder to himself "Why do I rub so many people up the wrong way"?

I find him a terrific character study. You could imagine Alan Bennett casting him as a Talking Heads persona.
