The Retirement Thread

I was quite enjoying the thread re women cycling in the dark, but sadly the usual culprit has managed to get it shut down as usual

I have followed it from the original OP's question. It deteriorated quite quickly from the original subject into the usual arguments between overly opinionated persons.

Yup - rather predictable unfortunately - hence 'the other place'

I have that person on ignore, one of the very few I might add.

I had an amnesty at Christmas and took off all the members off the ignore list
.........may have to start it again

I don't have anyone on the ignore list, but there are a few that wind me up at times, even on topics that should not cause antagonism.

Just had a couple of miles gentle walk for some fresh air. Still not feeling up to anything longer yet. The cough has definitely eased off now so hopefully past the worst. I may have a little afternoon siesta soon. 🛌

Yep, disappears for months and then turns up to grab an opportunity to lecture us all.

In more interesting news I've had a letter from HMRC to tell me I will pay tax next year as my State Pension will be above the Tax Free Allowance.

I have to pay £14.60. I suspect the letter, receiving and processing the payment will cost more than £14.60.

Raises a question though. Will I have to submit a tax return?

I might have to give in and watch Crufts on C4.

For the first time since I retired I have got a tax code and will have to pay tax on my small, £67 a month, pension, the pension people will see to it under PAYE, but I suspect the cost of collecting it will be more than the tax they'll be collecting.

She'd not have me on ignore for that, would she?
