Yes, e-mail in profile, I just need the long number off the front of your card, the expiry date and those 3 digits off the back.

Do not collect £200

An exact analogy, SFB!

I failed to collect my free cash from Fatcha.

I didn't buy shares in her car-boot sale of national assets
I couldn't buy my council house for peanuts and sell it for diamonds
I worked in the public sector during years of wage freezes and below-inflation settlements

oh I get it - you accepted low pay for pension security, but then it was realised that was too expensive so you'll have to live in a skip ?

Could you express that in terms of eightieths (1/80ths) of final salary?

I've got one

It's so pitifully small I still have to work virtually full time

see SFB's brainless post above - "pension security" - LOL

You can mock about age - but even my pitiful financial situation is bliss compared to what the young ones on here face

eldridge - ignore the heartless comments and callous mocking 😐

So anyway. What's this situation you find yourself in ........I'll see if I can provide you with some guidance and "professional" advice.

Is this financial situation you speak of in anyway connected to your "mental health issues" ?

No - for lack of understanding.

Public sector pension contributions are not invested in the stock market. They are subsumed into general government revenue, and pensions are then paid out of general government income. They can be held down or cut at the whim of governments because they are not tied to any kind of connection with stock market values.

See Greece, today

Dunno................maybe that's where he thinks his pension's gone ?

That could certainly help explain his apparent concern.

But he [i]definitely[/i] mentioned Greece.

But he definitely mentioned Greece.

it was jealousy - the retirement age there is 53 (they said yesterday on the radio)
