Pension

[Nikkers]

I have just received a letter from the PPS about this years increase from 06 April! - £2.85? Whoopee! I think I'll go buy a yacht! And they wonder why they don't get our vote?

[Jolyn]

Woot hoot....you can buy us all one...lol.

But really....it's a joke isn't it.....sigh.

[Hidden]

Don't be so ungrateful - this is around 3 loaves of bread! x

[Nikkers in reply to Hidden]

That'll make a lot of "soldiers" but trouble is, it won't buy the eggs to go with them! XX

[Hidden in reply to Nikkers]

It will if you only buy 1 loaf! You can buy eggs with the amount left - and maybe salt to go with them too! x

[Nikkers in reply to Hidden]

Good thinking CAL, but I'll forego the salt, can't stand the stuff! X

[Hidden in reply to Nikkers]

Ha ha I always put black pepper on eggs - love it. x

OOh, yes please Megan, you're making my mouth water. I love Marmite anyway. XX

I've said for a long time "Please come back Guy Fawkes, all is forgiven!" Please don't anyone correct me on this, I know the leader was Robert Catesby, but everyone's more familiar with the other "Guy"! lol

[megannell]

" Hehehe! Got me matches ready Nikkers......Ssshhhhhhhhhh.... Fireworks all safe in a box........Ready when you are..Sshhhhhhh... "

[Nikkers in reply to megannell]

Light the blue touch paper - and stand back!!! What joy! Lol

[sassy59]

Won't even buy you a model yacht! Loving coughs ideas though. Not funny is it? especially when we hear what Politicians get. Take care xxxx

[Hidden]

Doubt you will have enough left for egg or bread, after all our bills have risen, in line with inflation. I think you will find you cant afford them and something will have to go....this government hopefully!

[Offcut]

And that is for the year!

when you think about it, to qualify for a state pension, one has to so many years of national contributions, we could say its our pre payed pension plan which has been payed for by our selfs, then regardless of which ruling party in the country , we get taxed again on it, theifing b..kets these politcians.
