@C7RKY@raymond_sparkes I think the later retirement ages are ok. Life expectancy incr by almost 10 yrs so no need to stop when still fit... -
@Cleverestcookie@raymond_sparkes I'm inclined to think maths was the true driving force behind the changes tbh, but I take your point. -

@Cleverestcookie@raymond_sparkes I first asked how we will afford it when the baby boomers retire 25yrs ago - I'm one. No good answers yet. -
@C7RKY@raymond_sparkes sadly the gov, irrespective of party influence, doesn't seem to know what it's doing. It's the 4 yr term. >>
