Er it is normal practice for people in london to be paid a london weighting, even those who travel from the North and for the simple reason for this additional payment is that it is expensive living in london. For the price of a house in london you could probably buy a whole street up north.
when walking to the ground for our game against Leigh in 2005, my mate called an estate agent to enquire about a house on one of the main roads into the ground. Turned out I could have bought 1 side of the street (12 houses) for the price of my 1&1/2 bedroom flat in Brentford.
biggunbrad....do you think an assistant manager at the Halifax in Halifax earns the same as an assistant manager of a branch in Ealing? I can assure you that the person doing the same job in the south gets between 10 and 15% more in London weighting....it's what happens across the board.
I suppose for chaps like you it's hard to fathom given the dole is an exception to the rule
