Does that mean he will have to resort to having sex with his wife?

On another note!

Good luck with your public sector pension, i reckon there will be change there!

Sorry to say this - but the PS Pensions need squeezing (Top Guys - not front line staff) as when they can get 250K a year final salary schemes and everyone in the Private Sector has had thier pensions raided by that tosser G.Brown...

At least in the middle of all this the venerable Boris Johnson has managed to remain his affable, aloof self by sugesting that David Cameron finds a 'Mechano solution' and then likening whatever Parliament we end up with to 'a Wall's sausage' where the main filling is Conservative and the 'bread' represents the rest. Much needed light relief on quite a serious day!

I'll post a link when it's avaialable.

Had the big plasmain the shop on BBC news when he did that. Busy working, ears pricked at mechano then he starts goingon about sausages. Than man is mad as a spoon*

* I have no idea how mad spoons are

Let's see, our options were

1) Stick with Labour - the friendly bunch that got us into our current financial mess. Heck for the first time ever we are in the top listings of countries in debt.

2) Go conservative - and vote in Maggie Thatchers right hand man Cameron, oh hold on a sec not many people realised that one. So with NHS cut backs etc my wife's job Community Psychiatric Nurse (makes sure those of not frame sound of mind stay doped up so they don't kill anyone or themselves as they are released into the community) is at risk

3) Go Lib Dem - Join the Euro get ourselves into even more financial issues and make my life as a self employed business owner a nightmare.

So on a totally personal point of view my family is screwed regardless of who is in power so I decided not to vote as I don't like any of them. At least that way when all sh*t hits the fan I can turn round and say I wasn't a contributor to putting another idiot in number 10.

Thing is, the squeeze is already on in many ways. Pretty much nobody joining the public sector these days is getting a final-salary pension. Hell, where I work, most of us are on trading company contracts and so don't get a whole lot of public sector perks.

The problem is, a bunch of people who still work in the public sector started when they were still handing out those final salary pensions (some of our managers have been there 35 years). What's worse is, they've all been promoted - not out of ability but sheer long-service. So they'll still be getting the pension they signed up for, now at their inflated salary.

It's a real split, depending mainly on when you started.

What really needs to happen is a review of the way performance management works, so we don't keep promoting/not-firing useless people.
