That is true.

Interesting how you see it. I thought that it was about how a few 
thousand pounds was not out of the price range of someone with a decent job.

I remember meeting you along with Dr John and Steve. I won't speak for 
John but I know his what his job is and can guess what he earns, 
roughly. Steve's workshop had a turnover of 2.5 million pounds per year 
before he died. So even at 4% commission that put him in the six figure 
bracket. As for me, I'm an independent functional consultant for SAP.
