      People ‘live LONGER during recessions’ with fewer car drivers and home cooking | Daily Mail Online

      People ‘live LONGER during recessions’: Home-cooking improves nutrition and fewer car drivers cut road accidents, global study shows
      Recessions force people to be frugal, cook at home, stop driving cars
      It means nutrition-related fatalities and fatal road accidents decrease
      But alcohol- and cigarette-related issues may take longer to emerge
      And suicide rates rise at same rate as rising joblessness, authors warn

        People will also be able to keep active later in life when they delay retirement, so that's good news too:


        Patrick Bloomfield, Partner at financial consultancy Hymans Robertson, explains:

        The combined deficit of UK defined benefit (DB) pension schemes has hit £950bn for the first time ever. This is off the back of further drops in yields as the Bank of England attempts to roll out its package of Quantitative Easing. The BoE failed to buy the gilts it hoped to yesterday as investors seem to be unwilling to part with their longer-dated bonds. In light of that we could see the situation deteriorate further over the coming days.

        “It’s doesn’t come as a surprise that pension schemes are being hit hard, but the pain won’t be felt equally by all. The difference between those that had hedged and those that hadn’t will be marked. Many schemes with robust funding plans will be able to weather this. But some will be feeling the pain acutely, and there could be more to come.

              Work for longer and get a smaller pension!
              It's all good news, the UK will have the most competitive geriatric workforce in Europe

                They can fill all the fruit picking roles vacated by young East European graduates.

                  This thread has turned into the equivalent of a geriatric home for old remnant losers.

                  The last 2 or 3 Remnants laughing at each other's jokes, thinking they are hilarious, whilst the rest of us are looking in, thinking, "poor old dementia suffering muppets. They were sane once"

                  Bless them.

                      Pound weakening again, which is good for exports.

                      Trade deficit is swelling, presumably because of the sinking pound.
