If you look for something, you'll find it....

Exactly - where do they get the money from?

Hang on I nearly cried then because the bad man on the internet wasn't nice to me....

"Our" list. You seem to think you're a bit special then....

Unless the snowflake teachers fancy a few more days off after xmas isn't it?

How on earth will that damage them professionally FFS?

OK - which month this year does everyone realise that maybe we focused a bit too much on covid and forgot we let too many people die of other things?

Not me. Never venture into Jack land (swansea)....

Not brilliant....

not forcing anyone to answer its not compulsory

so how big are everyones? pots

OK. Say for the sake of argument I've got 3 old pensions, 1 SIPP with nothing going in, and one active pension with loads going it. Can I take 25% out of each?

For the SIPP, nothing else is ever...
