![]() Moderator 3343 forum posts 74 photos | The increase of 25p was 1/24th of the basic state pension so today would be £5.70 so it would still buy a pint and a bag of crisps if it had kept pace. Mike |

6116 forum posts 14 photos | The bad news is that you don't get all the 25p, because of the Income Tax, so only 20 p per week. After almost 3.5 years, I should be able to afford a few End Mills? No; now have to save it against higher energy bills! Howard . |
