Thos Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have just received my monthly state pension and as a reward for reaching 80 on Christmas Day, I find my pension has gone up by 25p per week. Is that an occasion to open a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, or what?HOORAY. Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Is that an occasion to open a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, or what?Without a shadow of doubt. ;) As a matter of fact, I had a few of that very brew for you on your Christmas day birthday, whilst we were at our son's home for the festivities. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 They do say that as you get older - your needs get less.Hence, it would be appropriate for Mr Brown to reduce your pension rather than increase it........ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
