What else are you planning for my pension?

Just a point of order, retro. The BT Pensions schemes (all three of them) were not non-contributory. I believe the usual contribution, certainly in the two earlier schemes, was around 9%.

You are correct new Judge, my OH worked for them for 42 years and contributed for every single one of them.

I stand corrected. It was always a point of envy and bone of contention when my cousin's husband moaned that I could retire on a full pension at 49 and he had to work until he was 60 odd. He worked with BT when it was GPO and started as a Motorcycle telegram boy (Red BSA Bantams), Lineman and retired as a manager of an automated exchange. He worked with the GPO when N.S. was still going and got placed into the Royal Signals. Long time ago. I seem to recall when the reply was that he paid nothing into his ,by then, BT pension fund he made no denial so assumed he didn't.
Equally, as an aside, it was a bone of contention that GPO/BT service was counted as contributory pension when joining the police force, whereas, any young police cadet's service was not deemed pensionable within the police pension scheme :-(.

Ironically, Brexit has the appearance of an elderly relative who interlopes on a business: "Why are you following their laws? Ours are much better!" "Why are you importing to them? You want to improve your business with the UK first!" Go away, granny!

^Do you think you could translate that into English, marshy. For the benefit of those of us that don't speak Double-Dutch. ;-)

I was giving Brexit a personality.
