<sigh>
I can feel myself taking the bait. Here goes...
I presume you're refering to Adam Applegarth, the Northern Rock blokey? On a very simplistic level it is quite shocking to see someone be rewarded for failure with a nice big pension. When people are given jobs with these inflated salaries they get paid to balance risk on behalf of the company which it seems many of them got wrong. He was probably contractually obliged to that pension no matter how things went, so there we go. Like you, it doesn't seem right to me either.
I don't understand the point of your second line, so you must be right, I'm too thick to understand it.

The OP is supposed to be a Granny!! God help your grandchildren if this is how you behave on an internet forum.

You can still be on benefits and contribute to society.
