They're not as bad as they could be. Read the proposal carefully. Especially the part that mentions pro-rata decreases from 2015. Any years of service before 2015 will be at the full pensionable rate.Originally posted by Jog On View PostThey're targeting the royal wedding I think. Expect a Bob Crowe extravaganza.

Spare me the bleeding heart liberalism. Yes I've seen EMI care homes. I've seen EMI people shuffled round hospitals, not just wards at weekends to find beds for them because there's no-one able/willing to look after them.Originally posted by Gibbon View Post

My Father worked in the public sector, my Mother worked in the public sector, my Brother and his wife work in the public sector.
They all have a cushy number. Apart from my Dad who is dead but my Mother is receiving half of his pension on top of her full pension.
