I just had a look and I'm only entitled to £168 when I retire,Apparently I didn't pay a full years NI in 2015/16,But I mustn't worry they are looking into it and nothing I can do... I'm now at an age where the £7 a week loss on my pension seems a lot,never thought I would worry over £7.

Surely there is a way to make up the shortfall?

The bastards sent me a request for Class 2 insurance last Autumn, which I paid. Found out this morning that it's voluntary. I am in a real FOUL mood now.

I haven't received a single penny in benefits since I left school 50 years ago. Some years I didn't even take a weeks holiday and I can't even access a stupid pension forecast. FUCKING FUMING.......................
You got every right to be...
I wonder if people that have never done a days work and claim full benefits all their lives will have the same problems we will encounter...

"Likewise" But you see they like folk like us and they know what you are entitled too but do they tell you NO you have to be wise enough to ask for your rights and entitlements, you are one of the new minority class of white, hardworking, and law abiding, I won't say anymore

Tamdhu is the base malt in Famous Grouse blend. I am a consumer of Glenlivet, Aberlour and Dufftown when on a budget! Always interesting to taste their 10,12 & 15 yr olds in succession. The difference is surprising. Aberlour a’bunadh is £80 a bottle but for special occasions gets my top vote.

My taste in whisky is fairly specific. Like all tastes it’s highly personal so I quite understand the ‘dislikers’.

I am no fan of highly peated smoky Islay whisky. It’s a style that markets well - make of that what you will! There is endless hoo-ha about whisky/which I put in the same vomit bucket as endless yatter about 22 blokes hoofing a ball around a ‘park’ 🙄. You make beer, you distill the stuff a few times and then park it in an old wine/Sherry/port barrel for a few years. Job done.....unless you disappear up your own backside discussing still shapes, heating methods and all the wee nuances that make for subtle flavour variations.

I know what you mean about the TCP but, for me, the sweet spot is a Speyside malt which are generally very smooth. Tasting notes? Marketing bollox.

You like what you like/don’t like. No right or wrong. End of. Just don’t get ripped off by marketing cons pretending grain whisky (cheaper because the barley isn’t pre-sprouted to increase sugar content) or cheaper non aged malt (because you can’t make stuff now to meet demand and sell it as 10+ yrs old priced on scarcity). Haig in blue bottles 🤣
I like Oban , just saying :D:D
