    BBC salaries

    With the list been published yesterday of how they spend our money one of the names that stood out to me was John McEnroe the ex tennis player who earns between 150/200k a year I take it that's for the commentating he does for them for two weeks works at Wimbledon because that's the only time I hear him on BBC nice work if you can get it.

    And besides that he doesn't commentate on every match, just the top seeds.

    We can take some small consolation from the fact that under the US system he pays income tax on it!

    There's a couple of BBC radio stations, one in particular, that I would hate to be without and if it came to it would probably cough up the licence fee for. So the rest, like anything on TV, is a bonus really.

    Pretty much everyone on this A list gets few, if any hits from me, especially the ginger idiot.
    Working for yourself is great, not only can you work half days, you can choose which 12 hours!
