I wouldn't complain! Currently I'm planning on another couple of year (takes me to 62) and because I work part-time at the moment, that feels very live with-able.

MrsP's place have - or at least claim to have - a very thorough firewall between HR and pensions. We're going to a retirement seminar with nothing like as cool a name as yours in December.

Call me an (old!) cynic, but all the marketing is about cool and exciting names! But yeah, in theory, data is only collected for specific content feedback purposes.
