We come in peace, We leave you in pieces !!! (Clive "Bex" Bissell . Inter City Crew. 1988 ).

I got a letter from DWP about 6 weeks ago to tell me that my new state pension amount was increasing to £911.40 every 4 weeks. It was previously £840 per 4 weeks,so as far as I'm concerned it is a 8.5 % increase. A very small amount of my pension is SERPS related ,about £5 per week only. And...

But you have to admit that he was pretty good in " The Wizard of Oz" !!!

Well said pal. I'm on the CL cup scheme this season so am in my seat in 132 ,which is £48 for an over 65 ticket. Last year I went to the RM semi and bought a seat about 20 seats further round into the North Stand and it was about £20 cheaper for what is essentially the same view.

Well believe it or not my mum was a woman. I've been married to the same woman for almost 43 years,and been with her for 45 years. And I have 3 grown up daughters who I am led to believe are also women. It's the self entitled Waspi women who I am not very keen on.

Spot on that pal. The well known phrase - " Equal rights for women" is very apt in this situation. They got a parliamentary act to give all adult women a right to vote .(And rightly so,we are all equal). They got a parliamentary act to give women equal pay to men.(And rightly so,we are all...

Yes ,of course. I forgot that a P60 came from my employer as I haven't worked for 5 years now. Thanks for correcting my mistake.

FOC Alert !!! Only kidding pal, I'm a fellow FOC and agree with every word of your post.

"6 years with no income". Or she could have got off her arse and got a job,which is what a man aged 60+ would have had to do until he got his state pension.

Now that is a great idea. If someone at the DWP had to thought of doing that 20/25 years ago it would have avoided all the current grief and aggro. And it wouldn't have even incurred any postal charges as the two documents would have gone in one envelope.

Brilliant PMSL !!

There was an article online a few years ago about a guy who never claimed his state pension because he thought he wasn't entitled to it as he already had his own private pension. His money started to run out after about 10 years and eventually he went to Citizens Advice for help. They told him...

Great post that pal That BBC article just about sums up their whole entitled attitude to the situation in question.

Precisely, I was 39 in 1995 so I was a bit older than you. As I keep saying, these women are making themselves look foolish and ignorant. They want to blame the government/DWP for their own shortcomings. They are the Liverpool fans of pensions, wanting compo for their own lack of financial...

I read up on that earlier ( I didn't know the answer), and it's precisely because men die earlier than women. Particularly when men worked in harsher conditions and were often dying early due to lung disease (mining and chemicals etc) , industrial accidents,and also as casualties of war. So the...

You've nailed the whole problem with these Waspi women in just one word of your post. IGNORANT. That to me sums up the whole thing. Most of these women ( not all,but most) would have had husbands, partners or boyfriends etc. It's not asking a lot for these male partners/spouses to know about...

I was at that Cup Final with my Dad ,but don't have the tickets we used . So my oldest ticket in my collection is from 1976. And as someone previously mentioned, look at the price for a Cup Final at Wembley.
