Yes, while I'm on the subject, Ianto also has been shown to own a ridiculous amount of what look to be reasonably top-end suits, which made me raise an eyebrow. And then last week it transpired that he owned what struck me as a ludicrously expensive car for someone his age.

Double agent, I'm tellin' ya.

L33t manwhorespy.

... you have nearly convinced me, you know? Alas, I fear it'l be like on Who: They won't ever mention it on screen

I am actually starting to convince myself now.

Could just be Torchwood pays very well (or Torchwood 1 did) - Owen's flat is bound to set him back a bit.

Yeah, I asked about this before, because I did wonder. No mention of it from our innocent outsider POV of Gwen though, who one would expect to squee at this fact, having been a police officer. I though both Owen and Tosh seemed pretty well off.

Who's paying them? Srsly? Apart from Ianto, who's obviously being paid by whomever has contracted his services as L33t manwhorespy, who exactly is paying them again??

Maybe Jack hires people on the basis that they're willing to be paid in magic beans. Or they don't actually get paid but the Queen lets come have a rummage through her jewellry if they need some cash. (Where is the comedy RPF with the Queen or whoever replaced Harriet as PM, I want to know.)

Do they still work for the Queen, then?

I dunno. Torchwood One presumably did (Yvonne's Queen and Country bit) : there must have been some authority higher than them - or the other Torchwoods wouldn't still be going after the central office got destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf - and we know it isn't the government because of what Harriet says in TCI. So I'm guessing it's the Queen.

But his car was only an N reg (wasn't it) which'll make it at least 10 years old.

Was it? I fail at paying attention. Plus, I know nothing of your quaint British registration thingummybobs.
