With the news that JK Rowling’s 800 word short story was sold at a charity auction for £25k and that London Mayor Boris Johnson will pocket £250k a year for a weekly column in the Telegraph, I do believe it’s time I should have a chat with my editor at Isle of Man newspapers.  It seems a salary review is in order!
