I wouldn't doubt it, they are on some silly money at McDonalds. The missus daughter works there and she started on the shop floor 4 years ago starting rate £6.80 an hour. How much do you think a manager of McDonalds is on Grandad? They are on £35K a year plus a car. For a big store they are on more.
