    Thanks for that. £80,000 is in PEPS and ISA's so that would be tax free and my house is valued at £500,000 so I guess it would be entirely feasible leave now and not worry about a pension of say £5,500 instead of £7,000!

    However in the next 4 1/2 years I would earn about £80,000 (£1500/month net) so I plan to stick at as long as I can - probably till 2011 when I let someone younger have the opportunity of taking on my work - who knows I may be lucky and be one of the 100,000 civil servants GB wants to get rid of - a nice golden handshake of say £20,000 and pension fully paid up would suit me nicely!
