The international bakery discovered it would cost them too much to have me sitting at a desk in London. They'd have to pay me more. London's an expensive place, you understand. Not like Amsterdam where you can cycle to work on a rusty old bike.
The Transfer Killer Question (see below) was: "If you know that we can only pay you the same Dutch salary as you're on now, would you still want to transfer?"
Translation: "Are you so desperate to go to London that you're prepared to live in a plastic bag and eat only once a week?"
Clever of them. Faced with such an offer, I had to say NO.
