    And PLEASE nobody mention public sector pensions and start that all back up again!:rotfl:

    You seem to be making a big assumption that it's only my public sector pension that's allowing me to retire.

    Only because I thought you didn't like people talking about the diamond smuggling and the poker winnings :)

    Just been watching Danny Alexander talking to Robert Peston.

    It emerged that we will be able to add to our NI years to boost our single tier state pension such that we can obtain the full 35/35 amount.

    Which must mean that any additional Serps will be protected on top of that.

    Did anyone else pick up on that?

    Ah, -- only applies to those retiring before the 2016 deadline.
