The value of life

Have You Tried England?

Trying to settle in England with a family? Welcome to a new civilisation, a new (or very old in fact) ways of doing things, and lots of frustration. Yet, it's all worth it in the end, if you ever reach the end and especially if you can afford it, because if you thought you knew what expensive meant, you have not tried London yet. This blog is my personal experience settling here, and I hope you, the new settler, will find at least some of it interesting if not useful.

The value of life

Just in case you thought life was of any value, a bit of perspective

The nurse who comes to visit our sick elderly neighbor receives 8.50 an hour for her visit. The fix it man who came to fix her heater charges 35 an hour, and the electrician sent from washing machine company charges 99 for the visit, plus the cost of the repair.

And Carer's Allowance works out at £1.50 per hour for a 35 hour week.... although most are doing the job 24/7.

Makes you think, doesn't it?
