Apart from all the under 25 year olds who have worked in an office and/or left home of course. ;)

Besides, if in doubt, make it up.

I thought you were going to say it'a bit cruel only paying £30-£60 for 3000 words, that's the thing that stuck out in my mind!

This should be in "Writing opportunities" really...

I'm sure a friendly Mod can move it.

In the absence of a friendly Mod .. Moved!

Oh sorry, only just seen this. I'll move this one with all the replies and close the new one.

Many thanks.
