Ha, 33% - I wish. Where the UK salaries compare to here (in the City of London), you would be paying a minimum of 40% base tax plus NI, etc - this normally comes out to about 50-60% stoppages. Then either your cost of living is really high or your commute cost is high (in time and money).

Been there, done that and hated every minute of it.

Indeed, worked out that I was pretty much working until July for the governement when I lived in UK .... now its more like mid-April ....
