I take your point…Cougar and correct this is the internet

I only say most people as some of the views about pensions would suggest they don’t like the government, of course I don’t wish to offend anyone who does like the current government so apologies

there wasnt enough room to write “are” in the heading so you are being pedantic.

Ive not made it up http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15966628

its not a troll !

serious question why would this be a troll?

[/i] Your logic is massively flawed because having an Iphone and a Starbucks is not an indication of comparative wealth in the UK.

true…i was being silly

i must be dense then

dark hole where ?

i didnt say all strikers had iphones im sure some dont have them…some may have andriods etc

sweepy you dont know Im actually a quite a nice bloke !

these threads are more to get people thinking…and are not trolls !

everyone seems to get very angry very quickly

i never said 4s…

barnsleymitch nor can I !

im going on strike ! oh sorry I meant on my trike…

what about nokia 3310 says it all take a hike to carphone warehouse

ok you lot win !

i hang my head in shame !

yes we are all entitled to have what we like…iphone bmw coffee…etc etc

still no sympathy though…

barnsleymitch now that is astupid thing to say ! really !

you can hiss all you like having an iphone is a luxury we all know if you want the latest one it either costs upfron or the tariffs are expensive…obvously if you have a trampy 3gs then you are laughing !

*i still run my trusty old blackberry

I am old enough to apologise prezet

freedom of speech !

its very rude to call some one a retard ! not very PC ! (prezet -d*ck)

Honda Stream take out the 3rd row of seats and the boot is massive 100% reliable…

Will sell my children…

as terrible as it sounds our pension will most likely be the sale of my fathers house/inlaws when they are no longer with us…and investing then.

that would be the government then !

Everyone is quick to blame this government, looks to me that most people have forgotton that the last government also put us in debt!

Two war ships being built not ready for years and we have no defence! Thats not very clever is it ?

Its simply not fair to blame this government for the mess…

I am in no way a conservative just saying what I see!

Id love to be at home! But sadly the mrs one that battle

Adults get funding part of that funding goes to my wage building rent running the program etc the shop is in profit (just) and that goes back into running the charity else where.

These guys get a job rather than pushing trolly’s around at tesco or asda

” Perhaps you could even things up by telling us what you do, what you earn and what else makes up your renumeration package (apologies if i’ve missed it). Then the forum can pass judgement on whether you’re worth it, maybe undermine what you do, suggest new working practices and a new pay package”

I started/manage a bike shop six years ago that is owned by a charity, we employ 3 adults with learning difficulties on a full time basis and 5 more adults come and gain work experience throughout the week.

I do this on my own I don’t receive a pension nor can I afford one I earn under £30000 and have a family, my wife doesn’t work as child care would be more than we earn! (she is a trained nurse)

There you go shout abuse at me all you like!

As I said strike away you get no sympathy from me…

With age comes experience and knowledge

its your perception of what you think of me grantway but it seems pointless to keep saying I’m jealous how is that productive?

its my view it doesn’t make me jealous I am just stating the obvious and its obvious that most people on this site work in the public sector or just don’t have an opinion or just don’t care.

no tory votes in this household!

country’s up sh*t creek why take more!

grantway you dont know me I can assure you I am not jealous

anagallis_arvensis nor am I angry

I am entitled as you lot are to say how I feel am I not ?

I am fully aware that pensions are not free

So if I took out a pension (which isn’t free!) I wouldn’t get any contribution from my employer so therefore I am far more worse off than public sector workers…At least its contributed be happy you get something!

I have a proper job and I cant afford a pension Id have to pay all on my own!

Jealous I am not!

i work for a charity there is no pension scheme so therefore Id be paying it all on my own ! No employer contributions of any type !

You lot moan but at least your pension is contributed and you’ll get a lump sum of some sort ! How the **ck is that fair?
!
and im not in the market for changing my job!

So strike away I don’t feel sorry for you one bit !

and in a polite manner of course !

Shes telling you something by not walking ! straight to A & E and demand to be seen by a doctor and xray

i dont have the solution ! not my job to have one either !

but I am certainly not a Conservative…and I do earn under £1000000 and have two children and my wife doesnt work !

Surrounded By Zulus you are the troll !

THIS IS NOT A TROLL !

I am airing my view this after all is a chat forum !

but whats that got to do with a pension ?

everyjob is hard some more than others…

like what ? kenny senior ?

lucky to get pension ! blah blah blah private sector couldnt do my job blah blah blah…what a load of bum !

be pleased you get a pension and you got a job plenty of folk dont have either ! and the people that dont get or cant afford a pension are paying for yours !

ah you got me bruneep!
