So the  ordinary non-occuptional pensioners are going to have to tighten their belts, to provide for inflated BBC Pensions, hmmmm  .  .  .

Yes, and so it goes on. Those who haven't got a final salary pension will have to tighten their belt to provide for those that have. These pension schemes were set up when the average life expectancy was 3 score and ten, they simply aren't sustainable.

I think most pensioners would consider it a benefit?

They’d be wrong.

I've just had a quick scan, in 2008 Aunty Beeb had a pension deficit of £470 million. Fast forward 11 years the deficit is £2 billion.

I was talking to a old boy the other day who was moaning about paying 40% tax on his pension. Poor old fecker is only drawing £80k a year now he's retired!

Would that not be your brother?

Wot you mentioned in another post a while ago, if I recall.

P.S.

A Bridesmaid of ours, having retired from a Band 8 Physio post, while also having been paid(albeit part time) as a full Colonel in the TA, is in such hardship in her recent retirement that she has "blagged" a Consultancy type role with our apparently not-so-impoverished Dept of Agri, and sommat else forby, but I forget what.

How the other v small %age gets by!
