YOUR report City workers set for big payouts (Business page, January 12), stated that the Centre for Economics and Business Research said that while the average bonus to be paid to city workers would be around £83,000, there was a huge variation in payouts, with some reports estimating 3,000 people could receive bonuses of £1 million or more.

Small wonder that homes are snapped up in holiday places at inflated prices, to the detriment of the locals.

Also, I wonder what people having difficulty paying their bills think about these huge payouts.
