FACT CHECK: We spoke to many orcs who do "simply walk into Mordor" every morning on their commute.

FACT CHECK: It is not “a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” We spoke with Mr. Richard Hetherington-Jones of Thelfall Manor, Yorkshire, who has £2000 per annum and does not wish to be wed at this time.

nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember: - how many squid facts you knew - if you offered others squid facts - how you made people feel when you told them a squid fact

The national minimum living wage is £11.44 p/h equating to £457.60 per week assuming a 40 hour week. Thats a living wage the minimum you need to live( the clue is in the name). The UK pension is only £203.85 per week. Why is no one outraged at this?
