   If for London the 1980s was the decade of yuppies, now the capital finds itself home to the "endies" – Employed but with No Disposable Income or Savings. Feeling unloved, overworked and ignored, endies are becoming disillusioned with their lot, according to a report from the Centre for London that suggests there are now about a million modest earners in the capital.
