Best Laugh of the Day - So Far

Of course if you didn't laugh you'd cry....

Bank of England staff demand big pay rise   (DT - paywall)

Well, considering that they print their own pay anyway, and always have done so, what are they bleating about?

Mickey and Taking does not cover it somehow.

It's the workers, not the bosses. They are the ones who are supposed to be "showing restraint". In any case, if the bosses awarded themselves a pay rise, how would we know?

B. Of course 'it's the workers'. Nevertheless they all print their own wages.

Aren't they the people telling everyone else to exercise "wage restraint" and bleating about "inflationary spirals"?

There seems to be an inverse correlation between how much you earn/pay yourself and saying "inflationary spiral", now I think about it. Govt ministers and captains of industry etc.
