Why would you even speculate on that? Are you trying to post some new record for the maximum number of mistakes and falsehoods? Sheesh! - Frank Krygowski Teachers are rarely paid enough to have any significant investments. I never knew a PE that made diddly squat - except for the very top echelon most of them made about what an electronics technician did. I suggest that you open you eyes and get out of the house and have a look at the rest of the world. We employed quite a number of Engineers on various projects in Indonesia, some of them had P.E. qualifications and as I was generally responsible for setting salaries on the various projects I can assure you that as a general statement an Engineer would be paid only slightly less than the project manager and certainly less than any electrical type that we ever employed. Goodness my spell checker failed me once again. Rather than "certainly less than" it should have been spelled "certainly more than", :-) Or is it just another example of the fool with his mouth open proving to the world that he really, truly, is a fool. -- Cheers, John B. |

Someone like you that considers the reporting of a grocery bill as I do as "bitching" Well, it is completely useless as "grocery bills" vary from location to locationmeven when they are the same items. When I was organising vehicile supported "club tours" it rapidy became obvious that purchasing all the groceries locally was far cheaper that coninual shopping as we went along. The burg I lived in had strong competition in grocery items. |

The burg I lived in had strong competition in grocery items. I went from the Broadview Gerrard area of Toronto Canada to LeBreton Flats in Ottawa and I was shocked at the difference in prices of everyday foods like bread, jelly and peanut butter. Things were far more expensive in that area of Ottawa than they were in that area of Toronto. Cheers |

Foodland is a large grocery store with a number of branches in at least two cities here. Tesco-Lotus is a department store with a large groceries department with branches all over the country. The same item - with the same label- is normally more expensive in Foodland. -- cheers, John B. |

Both here at home and during our frequent visits to another part of our extended family, I have a choice of groceries. At home, there are seven within easy biking distance. In the other town, there are two that I'm familiar with. I don't choose based on price. I choose based on the ride. Our home grocery is the most expensive one in the area, but it's got the most pleasant bike route. I don't worry about the price; I can afford it. - Frank Krygowski |
