I wonder if it could be connected to speed cameras?

Covid booster & flu jab on Saturday morning …✂️✂️…
Just back from my flu jab. “Oh, you’re one of the youngsters“ (made my morning!)
Do you know mushrooms talk?
Yes! Like trees?

There is a lovely story on the bbc website this morning about a Scottish fishing boat that picked up a long eared owl, 100 miles off the coast, fighting with seagulls. Sorry, I don’t have the link.

I love the idea of a community trebuchet!

asda own brand salted butter, used to be £1.85, went up to £2 a few weeks ago, now £2.15 :angry:

I do believe supermarkets are profiteering, fuel prices while rising slightly again have fallen significantly....grrrr, blooming supermarkets. Going to Iceland on Tuesday, quite a lot of stuff is cheaper in there plus I get the 10% discount .

I see mushrooms mentioned up posts...saw loads of lovely big field mushrooms yesterday, stopping and picjpking them might have been problematic, they were in a field at the side of the M62 :laugh:

@Speicher It's a few years since I started getting mine so the process might have changed for the State pension so I wouldn't want to say how it is now.
With private pensions I think you have to claim fot it then you'll get reams of paperwork to decipher!
 
I am sure there are peeps on here (in UK) who are getting a pension. Do you have to "claim/apply" for your pension, and when do you start the process?

For decades, the pension age for women has been increasing, finally next year I can start claiming it.

My wife just said that they contact you about 3 months before you are due to retire so that you can claim .

Thank you. I will put that in next year's diary. I tried to find out how much my state pension would be, but was told I was too early.

My stakeholder (aka private pension) is with Virgin Money and they have always been very helpful. I have put off drawing down anything from that.

My works pension is very tiddley, but pays for a few extras.

I thought you were significantly younger :whistle:

And you can check your state pension contribution level here: https://www.gov.uk/check-state-pension It'll give you an idea of whether it's a full state pension, or how close to it you are.
