The couple of generations that got a govt pension are very lucky in the lottery of birth time in this regard.

The way that a lot of current and soon to be pension receivers seem to both not give a shit and joke about it really rubs those younger up the wrong way. The I got mine so I don't care attitude so often displayed is disgusting and Maca49 you are so often guilty of it on this forum, even if you don't realize your doing it.

Us pensioners paid in all our working lives, if they can't afford to pay us they can't afford to pay "working for families", people to sit at home, people to have kids they can't afford, and numerous other hand outs. Don't get me going on this subject, this forum is too good for this subject.
