    I read missbiggles' post to mean that the woman's private pension was in payment & it was that income that she was unhappy about being taxed on, not a pension fund she is currently contributing to.

    Yes, that was what I meant and what the Waspi member was talking about.

    ... or work on the premise there are none ....

    Why would anybody do that when virtually everything you read seems to be based on lies, obfuscation and ignorance.

    Already been to the GP about it ... she asked me if it happens at certain times or just random .... so I told her it seems to just happen when I read certain threads on MSE.

    Only thing is, she then started rattling on about WASPI and it all seemed like deja vu again ....

    hmmmm ....

    Why would a GP be rattling on about WASPI?

    Can you put a thread on ignore:;


    When you see it there is the temptation to read it, against better judgement, to see it it has got worse. It always has:(
