My Dad got me an offer of apprentice @ about £3.50a week as a plumber.
I turned it down to be an 'office boy' on bigger wages......one of my earlier mistakes

Triple Lock
Would someone kindly explain what that is.

A triple lock was introduced to the UK state pension in 2010. It was a guarantee that the state pension would not lose value in real terms, and that it would increase at least in line with inflation

With covid ect inflation is at 8% and that's what we should be getting, but as usual they don't want to pay is so it will be a lot lower, it has been turned over by the House of Lords, but that means nothing so we will have to wait and see

Triple Lock

The triple lock was introduced a few years ago to protect pensions from inflation.
It guaranteed that pensions would rise each year by at least whichever was the highest - inflation, wages or 2.5%.
Wages rose 8% last year. That is the higher figure that the pension increase should be based on.
The triple lock was 'temporarily' suspended for this year due to the cost of Covid.

I didn’t start my first job until I was 23. Not a ‘proper’ job of course.
In other news, just got my premium bonds email, £100 this month. And that on top of £50 last month

It didn’t beat me , I picked my bike up and climbed over it.

Shocking and getting more common sadly.

Turning really cold here now. I might even go to bed early to watch Shetland.
