Just spoke to a geezer recently back from somewhere hot, but rained over Christmas, and the guys and girls had a visit from the CinC (somebody high up apparently) who told them this years pay rise is going to be 13% (yes thirteen percent). Any gen out there?

Due to light hearted use of the word 'coup' and the general publics ability to see this thread without being a member and their ability to sometimes not understand our sense of humour I'm mocing this thread to the pigs bar where only members can gander!

More than 1m doctors, nurses and other public sector workers face real terms pay cuts after the review bodies that recommended their salaries have proposed below-inflation pay increases.
The independent pay arbitrators that cover senior civil servants, judges, prison officers and NHS staff have recommended rises for most employees below not only the retail price index rate of 4.2 per cent but also the consumer price index, which stands at 2.7 per cent.
ADVERTISEMENT
The recommended rises are nevertheless expected to be well above 2 per cent, the level at which Gordon Brown, the chancellor, has called for average increases to be pegged, in line with the Bank of England's inflation target.
They are also significantly above the 1.5 per cent that Patricia Hewitt, the health secretary, has said is all that the NHS can afford for the coming year.
Only the review body covering the armed forces is understood to have recommended a rise above the CPI.
I guess that'll be the standard 3% then and trumpeted as "Inflation busting etc"::/:

According to a nurses pay website, a specialist nurse with 10 yrs+ experience would therefore get a rise of between 15.33p/hr (1.5%) and 25.5p/hr (2.5%). A newly qualified nurse would get between 11.88p/hr (1.5%) and 19.8p/hr (2.5%). I wonder what they'll squander that princely sum on? It makes your blood boil when the aforementioned Health Secretary will get a unhealthy (for the rest of us) 30% or whatever they've voted themselves!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr::/:

Whenever I mention the pay increases to my Dad he always comes out with "You`re lucky to get anything, as a civvy i`m never guaranteed a pay rise". I then ask him when was the last time he went to work at his Leisure Centre and didnt come home for 4 months, had to live with 10 other lads in the toilet and was getting shot at/mortered/bombed by the fitness instructors....

All of the other military forum websites removed their threads when the talk of coups was mentioned. If you don't like this Government then just vote for another party at the next general election instead of hiding on this forum.

If you re-read the above, you will see that its all light hearted and humourous. Do you think if we were planning a coup we would talk about it on a public forum? sheesh

Just take a look at his name. Dumb b'stards by name, dumb b'stards by nature.

Its no wonder it's taking the AFPRB so long to make a decision, it only amazes me they haven't taken as long in the past:

The Chairmen of the Pay Review Body is appointed by the Prime Minister. Members are appointed by the Prime Minister or the Secretary of State for Defence. Chairmen are remunerated at £350 and Members £300 per day respectively .
FFS even I'd be dragging the job out for that kind of money

You have to sympathise with the nurses, they work their butts off for a meagre financial reward. Had to mention that, the new lady in my life is one!! Very nice lass with a cute bum, does great massages . . . .
. . .sorry, back to the tread, has the 3% been officially announced yet?
Nurses deserve far more money than they recieve (on a promise this weekend) for what must be a rewarding if not stressful occupation. Have you noticed most female nurses have large bums. . . . . .
. . . sorry (again), mind keeps wandering, back on thread again, there's another interesting thread regarding the lack of money within the MOD which is worth a read.
Anyone for golf??

Many Nurses from the NHS are moving abroad as they get paid a lot more for better working conditions.

That has been happening for fcuking years!!
Ok calm down. Just saying that if you want better working conditions and a good lifestyle then move to a country that will pay you. Its called market forces.

Just had a brief look at the who's who on the AFPRB and the only one who has a clue (possibly) is the AVM. The rest are just civies who's only perception of what the armed forces really do is through what the encounter in the media and what they have been allowed to see. Stand by for a pi$$ poor pay rise, if we get one at all (as we all know it'll be in reality a pay cut).
Market forces also move with the times, unlike yourself. My point was that nurses have been moving abroad for decades for better conditions etc

Isn't that what I said in the first place. "Many Nurses from the NHS are moving abroad as they get paid a lot more for better working conditions."
Blimey so aggressive. We are on the same side you know.

No, what you infer is that nurses are now moving abroad etc because of this governments treatment of them. What I was saying is that nurses have been treat this way and have been voting with their feet for as long as I can remember (and that is quite some time. Well, before advanced alka seltzers sets in anyway!!)
