            The governmin will fix that for you by making it illegal not to have one soon. Just so they can raid it later, or force you to pay for your own pension so they can cancel the state pension, despite all those NI payments.

            It's already started:

            Employers' guide to 2012 pension reform | This is Money

            The government is set to introduce compulsory workplace pensions from 2012.

            Initially, smaller businesses with fewer staff need not to worry, because the reform be carried out in stages.

            Only employers with over 30,000 staff will be forced by law to offer their workers a company pension scheme in 2012.

            However, by 2013 any employer with more than 350 staff on its books will be obliged to set up and contribute into workplace plan for its employees.

            And between 2014 and 2016, those employers with less than 350 staff will be subject to the same rules.

            Employees will be auto-enrolled and can expect their company to put a minimum 3% of any earnings between £5,035 and £35,540 into each worker's fund.

                  Huv already stopped paying into mine a couple of years ago instead preferring to pay off the BTL.

                  I'm already forced to pay into a pension here in Germany but it's not much.

                    Really? I don't (well a private one, not the state one.) They can't force you into a pension in Germany, I suggest going along to the BfA and having a word with them. They've got lots of pamphlets on what you must and can pay for. You do have to pay 6% of your income tax for the 'Neue Bundesländer' though
