    Well if I calculate correctly your indexed linked pension has devalued far more than my pension due to it being in £



    In fact my pension in £'s is worth far more than last year.

      Mrs Tester’s Dutch nurses pension is not only intact, but remains one of the best pension schemes in Europe. She'll probably stop on 90% salary at 58. I’d love to pay in to her scheme, but it’s only (officially) made available to healthcare workers and not to their partners. However, she’s just been informed of the possibility to make extra contributions. I guess I’ll have to trust her and just stick a large sum into her scheme under her name.

        Do you know, I almost thought you were serious then.

          Isn’t it a bit far fetched to blame it on Mrs Thatcher? Yes she encouraged the markets and took away a lot of regulation, and I certainly don’t agree with everything she did, but I don’t remember her ever saying that bank supervision should be completely neglected as it has been for some years now.

            I did not hear Brown say it either, but as usual he did it by stealth and got found out !!

              Yes it is but if I was serious I would take the time and research my points throroughly and be able to engage in debate from a position of knowledge and not blind political bias. As a newbie to these sites I have to take my lead from the experienced and well educated (tory) posters who have been setting such a fine example.

                  I am voting Tory next time on the single issue of ID cards, in spite of cybercretintoryautomatonmaggot's daft pronouncements (like changing a fiddling Tory into a Labour MP yesterday)

                    Ah well, we're not all Tories. I'm more of an 'almost anyone but Labour' voter.
