The key words there are “which they paid into”. In other words, they possibly gave up certain luxuries in order to afford themselves a reasonably comfortable retirement. They also pay tax on pension income just like working people do on their wages.

No they are not. Still lots of guys with small firms.

Most of the rest work through agencies.

No everyone earns enough even when self employed to pay into pensions.

As for HMRC maybe rather than looking at the workers look at the customers who want to pay cash to save money.

What, asking well off pensioner's to pay a bus fare?

Work Place Pension's are tax free at source.

Cash in hand is a favourite for Tradesman, no tax and no trace.

And how are they fixed for Statutory Sick Pay etc if they have an accident at work? Holiday pay?

Probably not increased much since I had 6 months on SSP 15 years ago, 60 odd quid a week but it might be 100 now.
I know guys who delivered parcels that couldn't afford to ever take a holiday.
 
I’ve been retired 10 years and I’m only 62 now. I don’t have a bus pass, I have a BMW (well, the wife does but, since she still works, I get it all day). I was fortunate enough to get the good polis pension before they fucked everyone.

Cash in hand is also a favourite for customers who don't want to pay the 20% extra.

So maybe get the state to ask customers to stop being naughty.

I would prefer it went through the books, the Tradesmen don't. Usually a shite job done aswell. No comeback for them.

Not a bit Jimmy. 30 years is the maximum (or was). Baton used once in that whole time and CS spray also used once in relation to a different incident. As for pension contributions, I think we paid in 11%. The reason cops got relatively big pensions was because they were only expected to live for 5 years after finishing.

I work in Livingston. Got the bus once, from Reagent Place, fuckin nightmare and took ages. I get the train now.
Less bad but a lot quicker, coming home is terrible, always delayed. No discounts for me, even though i'm a regular traveller.

Mibbe you should have stuck in at school, got a decent job and paid higher rate tax (which benefits all of us), retired early and paid tax on your pension income resulting in you not having a big bag of tatties on your shoulder?

My main annoyance is that I can’t get over things that annoy me for irritation is, surely, the indication of a weak mind.

As Confucius said, and I’m ad-libbing somewhat, “In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the centre of the target he seeks first for the failure within himself”.

I appreciate this post will annoy certain people.

so that’s a no to a degree, no, used to have but retired as i was very good at what i did despite only having 3 o grades. Ok, you are a fuckin tit. Take responsibility for being a failure rather than lashing out at everyone. Think you are the tit here, loser
 
I think it's time us pensioners got free rail travel as well.

Not only will it piss of the folk who think they are the only ones who have ever worked but it would give us a whole new thing to moan and complain about.

I will accept though that free air travel is a step too far.

And at Easter Road there should obviously be no concession tickets for us free loaders.
 
I'd give means tested pensioners on the lowest incomes a few hours per day free gas or electricity. Just enough to turn the heating up and cook a warm meal.
Done properly it could come from the confusing and unfair winter allowance perhaps.

I never said that 🤷‍♂️
 
Well the trains are always late or cancelled Jimmy, so the moans are justified there. You just dinnae want air travel because you take the train everywhere. Think aboot us seasoned Benidorm, Bali , Indonesia and in the Docs case, flights every month tae everwhere. It disnae matter if, like him in first class and the rest of us in the cheap seats, there will still be something tae moan aboot.
FREE FLYING, WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
NEXT WEEK, in time for the Docs next holiday!

The bounce has become so confrontational ( 15 letters, possibly the longest word ever on here - thoughts ) is it a close - season thing ?
