30th Aniversary.

Nah, someone just photoshopped him to make it look that way...

big (and if anyone _actually_ photoshops Clem pink, I *don't* want to
know!)

 

I was talking about a 750/4 having more street cred and pulling power 30
years ago than a GS500 today.

I can see this degenerating into a booth thread!

Does it do anything quickly?

Bus Drivers and Taxi Drivers earn about 5 times as much as they did
roughly 20 years ago, and I could quote a number of similar unskilled or
low skilled jobs in a similar position.

I agree jobs which require significant training have not increased that
much in my experience though.

But there are almost certainly more unskilled workers out there, which
is likely reflected in that median figure.

Also 'full time' is now defined somewhat differently than it was...

I don't know about Ians estimate... but the average wage at 3 Bus
Companies, 2 taxi companies and a tyre service in 1985 was very close to
a gross of 8K.

Yes about $160 a week, and that was for senior staff... juniors got
about $120.

And these were award or over award wages.

and guess what the single man dole is now..

 

That was the dining room shed Clem! I suspect his new booth is the van (has
anybody ever been in there) next to the electrickery shed.

 

The Govt thinks you're gainfully employed if you work 15 hours a month. On
the other hand, they issue senior cards to people over 60 who work only 20
hours a week.

BTH *does* spend much of his time "choking the chicken"...

Maybe you could be un-photoshopped...

Yah... which is 'somewhat' different to what the situation used to be ;-)

competing out of my head now... probably with a large shot gun!

 

Your Santa Hat probably qualifies as a 'red' bit...
