He needs to start focusing more on getting man city out of the sh%t.

Man City are pants - there's no hope for them;) You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and all that. Even if you ffer to pay £100 m plus for players - they still don't want to play for City:p

Erm... I'll think of something sarcastic and nasty in the next 30 minutes and throw it at you. Just can't think of anything at the mo.

I like you already;)

Not to worry, I'm sure the other one will be on soon. Didn't mean my post as a personal threat, if it was borne out of frustration at other posts and I'm barking up the wrong tree, I apologise.

They don't work that way. Part time service is counted as part of a years service but at full time salary.

Not correct. Your pension is based on your last year's salary - so if your last year is part time, that's what you get - x years times your part time salary.

That's not so with LGPS. It's as Andy says. So, if you have worked half time for 20 years, it counts as 10 years based on full salary.

Don't know how many others are like this, but some are based on an average rate of pay, or the best of the last 3 years or so. Final salary doesn't always mean literally that.
