30,000 is my annual take-home pay too. I am paid in groats.

I am paid in quarks, which makes me a multi-multi-trillionaire.

30,000 groats is worth about 50p in stirling, or 534,678 in Euros.

I am also paid in Quark, but I have run out of chilled storage space for any more processed cheese.

I come from a long-established line of mongers. My family have been mongers for as long as anyone can remember. My father is a fishmonger, his father was an ironmonger and his father before him was a costermonger. My mother was an accomplished rumour- and scandalmonger but the spin-doctor said she had to give it up on account of her back. I thought I would go into domainmongering but my dad says its a flash in the pan and the real money is in war.
