SB is not wrong;

Really? OK, if you say so.....

my Chinese wife only brings back 8000.

A reasonable enough salary for a Chinese person.

Western FT's should have self-respect- sweeping up the park in Blightly
would be a nobler occupation, with a higher return.

Haha, are you and Pigsy related?

ESL has earned its reputation BECAUSE of people like you and Pigsy, not DESPITE them.

Sure, there are many 'losers' in this industry, but there are also many decent, honest, smart, hard-working people.

In China, I can save more money in 2 years than I could possibly save in 10 years working in Blighty, even on twice or three-times the salary.

Those ESL 'deechers' who choose to have their salary direct-deposited into their local bar owner's bank account do so of their own free will. I would never judge them. Yet I also don't expect to be judged in the same way.
