    The_Economist, this annoys me.

    bendix suggested you post some evidence and all you do is give us some links to internet forums etc. Do I gather from this that your knowledge on pensions and investments derives entirely from these forums (where people like yourself post) and that standard of objective journalism which is the Daily Mail???

    Nothing to do with this thread.
