Letter: Recently your correspondents (letters, various dates) have discussed bonuses paid to bankers and others.

At least one of these categorised these bonuses as "obscene".

I have one question to put to that correspondent.

If as a result of your skills, technical ability and hard work you had generated a substantial amount of wealth, your employer decided to recognise your work by paying you a bonus at the end of the year.

In range of a thousand pounds to one million pounds, at what amount would you refuse the offered bonus on the grounds that you considered it repugnant?
