Froggy 3 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 The floods are going downstream. The storms pass us by but we are now having a hot autumn. Actually, there's not really an autumn here. Can you imagine needing ice in your beer, even after it's been a while in the freezer? It's tough here, sitting on the verandah reading about the State pension scam that the government has announced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Not that bad here, forecast to reach 80F this afternoon, just a few degrees above average for this part of the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Pleasant here - should be up to 74 this afternoon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 S'not very nice here at the mo. After an above average warm autumn, and late turning of the leaves because of it, we're getting lots of rain lately. Still, it's better than bloody snow, which we were getting this time last year. You don't have to shovel rain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Froggy 3 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Scam? mine should be doubling, your real name's not stan by any chance? Wait for the small print the news media forgot to mention. For starters, welfare benefits will be scrapped. It's about simplifying the process and getting rid of Civil Service jobs, not taking care of pensioners. Politicians would like us all to die. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Froggy 3 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I wonder whether those who paid to top up their State pension will benefit. They won't qualify at the moment for additional means tested welfare benefits but will their additional pensions be paid on top of the new Sate basic pension? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
