£500 excess, so no chance of a claim.

« on: 28 November 2025, 14:49:36 »Another one I heard from Martin Lewis yesterday evening, pensioners will not have to pay income tax on their state pension, even if/when the pension exceeds the 20% tax threshold, which it will do in 2027.A few weeks ago on here, i asked about my occupational pension which is very close to running down. Thanks for the replies and advice too. The question i now ask is what the DWP now class as 'state pension'. Years ago i decided to stay in the old SERPS pension scheme instead of putting extra into the company scheme, when it went from a final salary to a "money purchase" scheme. This has left me quite a reasonable weekly amount which is well over the £12,570 pa tax threshold. Will the DWP class the extra i receive as part of my pension or tax me on that part?
However, they will have to pay tax on their occupational pension.
Haven't heard any comments on the media regarding this situation.

« on: 27 November 2025, 18:07:31 »Eon again.I had EON as my energy supplier a while back. Bloody useless shower of shit. Failed to send a bill for around 9 months, even after repeated requests and then when they finally did, demanded payment in full in 14 days.
Gas smart meter no communication from meter to them, made arrangements for them last month to sort or exchange the unit but no one turned up.
New appointment today for 8am to 10am and yes no one turned up yet again.
Just on the phone making a 2nd complaint.
Negotiated a payment time frame and when i'd paid it up, told 'em to fark off.

I think a lot of kids assume that Mum and Dad are a permanent fixture and always there, then all of a sudden, they aren't. SWMBO had a minor stroke just over a week ago and that made them sit up. Luckily she got away quite lightly but has weakness on her left side which seems to be slowly improving. Early days though. Welcome back Dave, hope things go well for you.

« on: 22 November 2025, 14:13:26 »More of a pissgive i reckonThere were rumours going round a few years ago that Russia's FSB (KGB) had caught Donald Trump with a 'honey trap' with a hooker in a Moscow hotel when he was there on business before he got into politics..
The story went that when the intelligence agents went into the room the hooker was giving him a 'golden shower'.
Doesn't seem unlikely to be fair.
Pisstake...😄

« on: 22 November 2025, 14:11:41 »That's quite a low bar to be fair.But for all his faults, did he ever commit treason?Should restore the death penalty for high treason.
Could hang him then.
Blair repealed that so we couldn't hang him.
Misplace loyalties, yes. Gullible, yes. Treason though?
Lets face it, he's probably the best Labour PM we've had this millennium
