People who have that skill should be well paid for it. Good teachers, for example.

Nope, employer spreadsheets will be done by AI as for the robots.......

I recognise two genuine; knocker up of workers and invisible net maker.

Ugly, not the pic, but the vessel.

1. ECHR is nothing to do with EU.
