  1. so you agree there is no money to fund the pensions you expected, looks to me like you guys are in the same boat as the rest of us

     

    My LGPS is independently managed, its one of the best performing groups in the UK

    and has enough funds to pay pensions for the next 20 years if contributions stopped now

    It does not rely on the taxpayer

    My company pension was in a similer position some years ago in fact it would have become self funding (so I was told). The company then (as money was tight) chose to take a contrbution holiday !

  2. RT,

    Sadly your/our former employer also passed the buck. This now means that my years of paying in were ended (not by choice) and the pension frozen.

    Youngsters joining now can only pay in at the lowest level.

  3. If you are doing it to remove the paint then use paint stripper. Most blasting media are quite abrasive and will damage any threaded holes. For a good decorative effect you could strip and then have glass bead blasted at a high pressure ensuring saturation, and then plenty of clear coats. Glass bead is non abrasive but peens the surface.

  4. Every penny of the £39M raised by Children in need stays in the UK Cruz, think you're confusing it with Red nose day :?:

    Your right Jota, I did have my wires crossed :oops:

    But how strange you knew what I meant from the description :D

  5. Politicians all seem to be liars because they try to tell us they are different to the others. The fact is there is only one way to avoid the current climate and they are all doing the same thing just with different headlines.

    The idea that you buy a failing business (northern rock), bring it back to a working profit using your own money and then sell it at a loss speaks volumes to me, they don't care !

    As for poverty in other parts of the world, we have over the years given millions, nothing has changed. £27M raised on Saturday night (CiN) would make a lot of difference in the UK, but we give most of it away to corrupt countries who have even less interest in their nationals than our government do in ours. Yes I know some won't like that, but We should be putting our own house in order before trying to resolve others, the money is clearly there.

    When a pensioner is worse off than a prisioner then we are in a sorry state.

  6. Mmmmm free advertising, the whole of UK biking has the name Bennetts on their lips. A press release to clarify the position in a few weeks and they should have plenty of customers, clever ! Yes I am a cynical bast*rd.


    I had this list all declared on my Draggie

    D&G Hardkrome Exhaust

    crash bar/highway pegs

    Screen

    rack & pannier rails

    leather luggage

    custom footpegs

    custom handlebar grips

    K&N air filter

    insured with ebike and did not affect my premium.
