billy, spot on about the tele. i only watch the news these days, sick to death of 'reality' stars and all those types of parasites that everyone seems to look upto. Its a big world out there so get the coat on and go out looking.
DT I was 300 quid for Council Tax for 3 of us in house. Fuqing rip off one of the reasons I moved
its outrageous isnt it craig, only ever goes up it seems and you get less for it.
Right guys gonna leave you to it for a while, taking the dog out again for a bit, wearing some more tread off the poor buggers feet on my potholed local pavements.
Craig £300 a month?
Billy council pensions are index linked so they go up no matter what. I call them gold plated pensions cos it is guaranteed and the tax payer pays for it. My local council closed down ten years ago and all the staff that didn't transfer took early retirement - the lazy barstewart hang about drinking coffee in the local cafes every day on gold plated pensions and some of them were early fifties - the local tax payers picking up the tab for the rest of their lifes - that can't be right ffs. They should have been made redundant and told to f off and get another job like everyone whould have to do !!!!!
Scoop, id love my mrs to be made redundant she could then get a lovely pay off plus then be able to tap into her full pension entitlement instead of it being capped if she leaves early.
Ken there was a guy in his forties who worked in the planning department ffs. These were all the top jobs in the council - sitting around outside cafes drinking coffee rubbing the locals noses in it - normal office workers didn't get it - ******s.
Scoop, yes i know what you mean you will always get the lazy bstrds in any company there's a guy where my Mrs is located and hes a fekin alchy on over 90K a year and delegates everything, if he worked for me hed be down the feking road, the problem is public sector isn't like in the building industry its so processy to fire someone you have to gather evidence then go through HR and this guys high profile so no one wants to touch it as their job would definitely be either closed down on some sh.te like fund saving as they struggling for finance.
All bloody wrong can you imagin his golden handshake and pension its a fekin disgrace.
Driver did you pick up any JUST EAT yesterday
Pete should she not be average I am now changed a while back. Final salary would of suited me. Cheap skate fuqers
Driver no it wont it's done over a lifetime service now it's done on an average of service ...check it mate
My wife's is the same it used to be towards the end of service they'd all like in the overtime and get their pension based on that now its changed so if wife worked full time 10 years part time for another 10 years they'd do an average not base it on part time end of service wages
Driver that'll be band 3 has band 2 has been abolished now
Driver how many years she been working for nhs?
Reason I ask is there are 3 types of pension schemes 1995 a good one 2008 s home not so good but if already employed before this you could still stay in 1995 scheme and now its 2015 scheme no option ya have to go in it but lucky for wife she is full pension in 1995 scheme so she's laughing
Right so she's on 2015 pension scheme so she has to work to 67 to get full benefit...on old scheme as long has you had your years you could retire 60 with full pension ...basstards!
I got 2005 scheme for 8 years and the 2015 one the other option was sh1.te had to work longer Good thing for me I'm on 70% more than I was 2 years ago
Craig you get promoted?
Craig do you get yearly forecasts? The wife doesnt she has to get a pension forecast every time I want to check it
Craig the old 1995 pension is a beauty
