Pensions, the thieving bassa's

Stood in the Chemist earlier and a guy i have known forever staggers in,
Stephan Kxzawkwaxyaer or something, i never did get his surname right, Anyway he is 66 now and he is still fitting double glazing etc, poor sod can hardly walk, but he must be 18st,
Blady hell Steph i said i thought you would have packed it in by now, Cant he said the thieving bassa's have nicked half my pension, and the wife will have to work another 3 years too ? Cant you do anything about it ? Nah closed shop innit, been trying for over a year, but read the small print they said, Scandal, His parting shot was " I want to just take things easy like you"   Where the feck did he get that from, Just because i'm not covered in silicone and have ladders on my car, cheeky bleeder  

Fecking joke innit, how long has Jan got to work for now? Patsy has to do an extra 6 years, thats if they dont force her out to grass. Nice little pad in Tenerife waiting by the swimming pool, just a fecking pipe dream again. 

Janet has to work until she is 63 before she gets her pension, Good job she wont have to rely on it,
I'm still 65 i think

I've got to wait 'til I'm 66...  Youngster you see...

How the feck can they just move the goal posts, That means you pay in more and get less out,
If they get away with it they will keep moving it up, 90 soon, should be able to opt out paying i think,
I would opt out because i dont think its worth feck all,
Err how much do you get now ?

I think in a year or so, they're going to give everyone £140/week.

So a married couple would get £280 a week ?

Just investigated this. In my case I get it at age 65, 7 mnths, 9 days. 06/01/2020. Patsy gets hers Jan 2024 at age 66. Poor cow.

Have a look at this Reg...New single tier pension

It's actually going to be £144/week and yes, you both get it, so £288/week.

Clear as mud   Were fecked then  

Cover the gas and lecy then, The Densons will have to stay away      

Basically, anyone reaching pension age after April 2016 will get £144/week in today's money. (It will be index linked to either Earnings, prices or 2.5%, whichever is the higher). This sum is based on having a minimum of 35 years "stamps" or National Insurance contributions. It will go down on a sliding scale to 10 years contributions. If you don't have 10 years contributions, you'll get feck-all!
It's an individual entitlement, so you and Janet will get the same each.

I hope they raise the age for the pensions as it will help to put more money in the pot for the needy people having to live on benefit payments.

I better have a word with the accountant

When my Dad was about my age he got made redundant for the second time, when he went to sign on they said dont bother and just gave him a pension book. Would have been about 1980. Anyway I was kinda hoping they might do that with me........

Can't make yourself redundant Vince. 4 years as a temp and 3 years as a perm at my last place, gave me 21k to sod off. 67 for me.

Be 88 by the time you get there. Fortunately I dont have to rely on it. Soon be time to cash in this place and get building. 3 plots I have. A pair of 3 bed semis and a three bed detached. Let them all out. Winter in Tenerife and Summer on a boat.

Sound like a plan.  

First of all I need to move some drains and demolish an outside toilet. Now the outside toilet even though its double brick shouldnt be a problem but it has a concrete roof about 6" thick. So should I remove all the bricks except the ones on the corner, tie a rope round it, connect to towbar on car and drive off?   Or what.....And who wants to lend me a mini digger. As it happens a mini digger would be handy to pull the walls down too, not sure if they are designed for that really.........  .
