I've stopped telling people now because of 'pension envy'. I told a bloke the other week and he hit the roof cos he's only getting £170 a week. A girl who came to stay with us went mental when she found out I was going to get 2 quid more than her. I said calm down love, I'll give you the 2 quid.

I get my state pension in January.

If you were in France you would get your state pension at age 62

But that would mean living there. No thanks.

Hardly anybody gets the so-called "flat rate" omnipension, currently £179.60 per week.

An interesting fact (if you find this sort of thing interesting) is that you need 35 years of contributions.

But for each year you were "contracted out" they knock off a years worth

And even if you subsequently worked extra years paying full whack, you can never get it back.

e.g. if you worked 5 years contracted out plus 40 years full whack, you would only get a 30-year state pension.

As Nigel Lawson could tell you, they frown on granting permanent residency right to Brexers.

Yeah mrs filly got caught out on that contracting out, but she's got a couple of council pensions so that will help.

He gets less than that but I think they might be collecting backdated child support.

 

[JohnD]

And it depends how old he is. The "flat rate" came in about 5 years ago, and depending on the calculation, some people got "old style" and some got "new style" pensions. Very few of them got the so-called flat-rate. I don't know if the overlap is still running.

What else at a certain age in life do you need, apart from incontinence pads.

Wetherspoons is a gift from God.

A national treasure in my opinion,especially in Ulster, real ale is treated with suspicion and derision, apart from Guiness and Bass anything different is a case of " What the feck is this, they are selling home brew".

That's what all the alcoholics say.
