I bet you were pleased that Jo was in 6's!

I was happy enough to be in 2's.

Not quite! (185 + 185 = 370 not 270) but still substantially more!

£270,000 is a stupid amount of money to be paid for PR.

£22,500 a month - not that excessive. Many large organisations with a national agenda pay a lot more than that for their PR.

If that were translated into advertising terms you'd just about be able to pay for a half page, black and white advert in the Sun, once a month.

One man having that much influence - now that's stupid.

Does anyone *need* that amount of money per month to live?

Depends on how they choose to live.
