    Your tax code will likely be your current code less £9500 ( your full annual pension amount) on a M1 basis so taxing 1/12th of the annual pension each month

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Jean Cocteau 1889-1963
