Warning! This will **** you off. It's a bit out of date so they will be on more nowadays. Not as much as Tikay gets for moderating though! ;-)

    Some of the salaries listed don't seem exorbitant? ( A lot do, granted..)

    You need to remember that you're not only paid to fulfil a role, it's the level of accountability that comes with a role.......In a previous 'life' I had responsibility-at one level- for a £21m budget for a £32m organisation...

    Someone has to be the "Boss". All that you can hope is that they do their best and at least earn their salary.

    I guess that I prefer that to the Politicians who get paid ridiculous amounts of money just to be a part time "adviser" to some multi-national.

    What do you get if you pay peanuts?

    Havent most people who become the boss excelled themselves in less important roles?

    Dont the public sector have to compete with the private sector, or make do with less competent managers?

    I checked out the guy at the bottom of the list, but hes no longer there.
    He has been replaced by a woman called Lynda Thomas.
    She apparently earns between 180 and 190k.
    Last year Macmillan collected a record £247million, up 7% from previous year.
    What a bargain her salary is.
    Lets not forget the job they do.
    Bargain.
