Just wondering if we need to keep an eye on Sunak and any changes he may make that could impact on potential and actual retirees :-(

yes, Baz - keep an eye, but I would have thought that you were smack in the demographic of votes needed to be kept...

Yes! I hope any tightening up of tax relief or tinkering with the lump sum doesn't happen till the end of the current financial year.

To be honest, Baz. Surely it is 'good' (for the Government) to get rid of us. As we are occupying roles that the young unemployed could take.

This is slight tongue-in-cheek with a tinge of sadness for all the youngsters who feel disillusioned due to being unemployed.

But if they take more, it will mean we need to linger in employment for longer

I would love to be displaced from my job by an eager youngster.

Me too. In reality, I probably wouldn’t be replaced in the current climate, my colleagues would just have to work a bit harder :(
