Hmmmm, on the radio this morning (BBC radio at that!) they said 67 rather than 69.

Streamlining all the different little bits and pieces can't be a bad idea. It should save money in administration costs alone.

I can't help feeling that there is something a bit irritating about the fact that people who have saved for their old age get less than people who have frittered their money away willy nilly.

Before anybody jumps on me for saying that, I do realise that there have to be safeguards so that people who have not had the chance to save or invest through no fault of their own don't end up starving or freezing to death in their old age.
