Or rather we are told that is not the case but then when you observe the behaviours of those telling you it is not the case - you can clearly see it is the case.

So yes feck everyone.

Care not who you take a huge tulip on from a great height and you will be successful.

Never try to be a good guy

'Being a good guy boss left me GBP1.2m in debt' - BBC News

For decades plumbing firm boss Murray Menzies paid into a pension scheme for his workers at a time when it was not compulsory. But a series of complex changes to the law mean the 71-year-old is now being pursued for a huge "pension debt" to cover a shortfall in the fund he used.

The irony in all of this is that Plumbing Pensions is not short of assets. According to recent valuations, there's more than enough money in the fund to cover all its liabilities on an ongoing basis. In short, it doesn't need the money.

The "shortfall" is a hypothetical one - only existing because the Section 75 rule uses a particularly expensive method of calculating the costs should the scheme ever decide to wind up.

The chief executive of Plumbing Pensions, Kate Yates, said these were unfair "unintended consequences" of a well-meaning change in the law.
