David,
You forgot to include in you list of the diggers income (am I still allowed to use the word digger) the following
job seekers allowance.
rent rebates benefit
free dental treatment for people on low income
also I think the tax calculation is incorrect.
I think when we are discussing such figures we should look at the full picture.
On the beer and fags issue at £5.50 a packet and £3 a pint drinking and smoking are very luxury items in todays society.
Peter
Started on £8.60 a week when beer was 25p and fags 50p.
