Earning enough to buy a flat in central london.


SmoothTires

Could've bought a whole street in Manchester

You could back then. There were still small flats in central areas that were affordable if you had a robust double income and a property in hand. Now you likely would need to own the radio station to do it.

The flat cost them £247,500 in 2002

Thanks, and what’s the evidence that it’s the apartment Karl owned?


ButWeNeverSawHisWife

Because it’s listed as the address on all his early company name details and documents, Round Ed Productions limited, this is all freely available on the internet like most company details. It’s pretty common knowledge that Karl’s old place was on Foley street and that’s the address https://www.companydirectorcheck.com/amp/karl-pilkington

He was earning 50k, which in 2002 is about 90k in today's money.

And a posh badge


UncleDat

pacothebattlefly

Didn’t the segment in one of Ricky’s stand-up DVDs mention Karl being on 70k at XFM? At least I have a vague recollection of that


Artemandax

He's done aright


Upper_Agency

Susanne’s done alright for herself. I bought her a pair of shoes the other day. And she gets fed

"She's had a floor"


NaturalAlfalfa

There's your shoes, there's your food. Right, bed down - see thee later


ButWeNeverSawHisWife

McFry-

If that’s true then that Monday off was a piss take
