Fee at the point of need

BBC salaries are in the news again. DG Mark Thompson, we’re told, earns – well, gets – £834,000 a year. Again, to use a comparison from an earlier post, he’s a long way from the J. Ross ball park.
Fee market
But it’s not bad, is it? It comes to Lfp 5,852.6 (licence-fee payments) at the current exchange rate.
And he gets expenses as well – £3,364 (Lfp 23.6) in the three months to the end of June this year.
Lost Wages
That includes £647.50 (Lfp 4.5) for two nights at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas.
Nuff said, I think.

Las Vegas. That would be the National Association of Broadcasters convention. Interesting, I know because I’ve been, but nothing on earth would persuade me to go back to Las Vegas.
