get your pension paid into your normal uk bank account and the use online banking to transfer it abroad, or just set up a regular transfer to the abroad account - that’s the way to do it mate

I'm a way off yet, but obviously always reviewing options in life and that sounds a sensible suggestion to me.

One of the things that pissed me off, was the extra years chucked on the pension age, because you have to rework your finances. Imagining being a woman with an extra 6,7,8 years whatever it is on top....

Which gets me to thinking, rather than paying 3 million people benefits to sit at home, they could always retire ppl off, and give the youngsters the jobs. Ok I'll dispense with these stooopid ideas <whistle>

problem is that the amount to pay pensioners is higher than the amount to the youngsters - but it is an idea that has been looked at a few times.

for me getting as many working and then spending drives up the taxable income, whereas unemployment benefits do neither.

Exactly mate. Like you say, I know pensions will cost more, but the long term would be of far greater benefit to the younger generation. Once you stick 3 million people in unemployed, it's a downward spiral. I think it's better to pay pension, than state benefits and the poverty trap.

for the mental well-being of both groups it would also be better to do as you suggest

I just looked to see where @Hoddle is a god is today - As I was thinking what's upset him now, if anything!

Anyway as I had a quick 10 second browse, I'd instantly noticed he had something on his account, called 1,000 warning points, I thought wtf are they?

Surely he's not accruing points for being a bad boy. I looked on other accounts of people and couldn't see them on theirs, but I noted you could click on the points of HiaG, so I did, and found...

He once flounced after I gave him a warning on the system for repeatedly posting that head shot gif after I politely asking him not to, remember?

He wrote that ‘Tobes is a Nazi’ leaving thread <laugh>
