    Reportinvestor - where did you get the 60% figure from? It is not mentioned in either article.

    Is this question too difficult or something? ;)

    Perhaps it is safe to assume that ReportInvestor simply made his figures up in order to try and look clever?

    Come on RP - I am genuinely interested, as I cannot see any way that this individual could possibly lose that much of his pension.

    I would also like LeeJ to advise further on what figures he is comparing, because this whole thing doesn't make sense to me at all.

    Maybe not, Lee's numbers were £15k and £6k - 60% drop..

    Just now caught up with this increasingly amusing thread (the original subject matter aside).

    It's in the Original Post, Pal.

    My first thought was that this wan't a final salary scheme, but then the OP said it was.

    Fair enough. My apologies for ever doubting you.

    Not that the figures makes sense though...
