This week's "Let's imagine"

[David Johnson]

So dear forumites, if like me, getting every penny of income is important to you, here's a little story.

Let's imagine you lose 2 days work in December due to the snow. Alas you don't get paid for this and that means you have lost .5%, let's say of your income.

In January, your boss comes along to you and points out that the firm has lost 2 days of your production deferred from December's snow. Can you put in those 2 days now? You agree and get your .5% of your income back by working an extra couple of days.

As a result of the above do you think:

1. Well at least I am back to equal. My income hasnt gone up or down.
or
2. This is fantastic! Rejoice, I am going to be doing loads of extra work over the next months.

If your answer is 1. can you please drop a line to Cameron and Osborne explaining it?

Just removed my shoes and socks and calculated my response using my 23 fingers and toes.

I think the correct answer is (1). Do I win a prize?
