my pension

I've put this in "humor". It's perfectly true, but if I couldn't laugh at it I'd start crying.

I'll be 65 next february, so I'm trying to work out what my income will be, over & above the state pension, & the couple of small pensions I've been getting since age 60. This being so, I got in touch with the company that holds a pension that I stopped paying in 1970, when I left the National electricity company. I received a reply today.

I'll be entitled to £16.94 ($27.20) a year, or I can take a one off lump sum of £189.39 ($304.00). The clincher was that "either of these choices will be liable to income tax"

Oh well, forget the holiday in the Bahamas! :poorbaby:
