I’ve been in collar since 1977 mate. Longer actually, cos I had plenty of jobs when I was still at school. If I was a horse, they’d shoot me.

I know mate, you are the same as me, which was why I questioned Fosse saying he started work in 1986 and he's older than us. Even if he then started a couple of years earlier as he claims, that's still seven years after us lol.

Hmmm ... not sure I follow your logic there Bob ... the historic contributions came from a net pot of money ... the gross had already suffered income tax and NI ... therefore, when I want to have some of that net pot at a later date, and that receipt gets taxed, then the original gross pot has effectively been partially taxed again ... may just be semantics, but you can see where I'm coming from ...

Did you miss my post where I mentioned paying tax on your investment earnings?
Yes you get earnings from a pension if you chose right otherwise you may as well just put the money in a savings account and hope for good interest rates.

The pension schemes were compulsory back in the day mate ... otherwise you might have a point ... plus the civil service ones were very good ...

Me and two of my mates helped put up the boxing and wrestling tent on Southampton Common when the fair came to town. Really ****ing earned that handful of green pound notes.

Just had a look to find something

Basically from 2006 pension contributions were tax free. I wouldn't have known this as i was still in school

In other words you're a dinosaur and no one cares about tax paid back then. To be honest wages back then were probably about a tenth of what they are now so the tax taken was probably negligible :emoticon-0172-mooni
