He's promised to move over here should he lose. Possibly near his golf course.
That should be golf courses as he has 2 I know of and a third one is planned in Aberdeenshire near his other one in that area. The local council seem to have given planning permission but is dominated by tories and banned labour councillors who have joined tories.

I like that the pension is paid four weekly as opposed to monthly. The month where you receive the extra payment seems like you're getting a bonus.
My " bonus" arrives next month, in time for some Christmas debauchery 😉
My work pension is paid 4 weekly, as was the salary. I think it works very well.

Three years until I get invited. I won't get any extra though, as my work pension will reduce by the amount of the state pension so balancing out.
That doesn’t sound fair? Surely no matter how much of a work or private pension you have, you are still entitled to the full state pension, albeit maybe getting taxed a bit if it comes to over the personal allowance?

It was one of the 4 options we had at the time, to take a slightly higher work pension until the time the state pension kicks in, and then the work pension reduces. With this option also came the highest lumpsum. I'm not complaining.^_^

Have you access to one of those smart watches?
Yes, but I'm not sure why you're asking.

Should I worry?

I got back about an hour ago with 55 miles on, a ride down to Willoughby, no cafe stop, just a short stop by the duck pond for a cereal bar then back home. A lovely morning for a bike ride, a touch cold but bright and sunny with a light breeze, it clouded over on the way home and the breeze was a bit stronger. The first time this winter that I've worn overshoes, I shall have to dig out the winter tights if it doesn't warm up. It was a lovely ride but by the time I was crossing Coventry on the way home the legs were fading fast, it looks like its going to be like last time where it took me a few rides to get used to riding straight through without a cafe stop.
