Obviously we're all affected by market forces. On the other hand the
suggestion that salaries will have to suffer and that people should be
willing to accept poor salaries is just a bit off.

The point that I'm trying to make is that some people seem to consider
everything to be about money and that some of use are merely snobs for
wanting more than tuppence a week. We all have a certain lifestyle we want
to maintain, but apparently I'm the minority when I have standards about
pay even in the current economic climate.
