REFERRING to the front page of the Daily Echo on Friday March 28 under the heading of Magnificent Six. Who on earth authorises such huge salaries. In my view the people responsible for this obnoxious deed should resign immediately.

Looking at the council tax demand and seeing what these people are receiving described as salaries is beyond any normal person's comprehension. Mind you I do have financial problems of my own. I am still in the process of calculating where I could get the best return by investing the 25p a week extra for the over-80's on my peasants pension.

Do you think I could take the risk by investing in the Stock Market were it could go down as well as up. I just don't know. I could lose the lot.
