The highways agency think this and now the cycle path is over grown and me being on a low trike have brambles and nettles at face height so I can't use it.

Right you lot, I'm planning to join you!
40 years of continuous public service on 12th December this year so going to see what that brings me in early retirement......
Tried to ask the NHS computer (probably a sinclair ZX81 wit tape deck) on Friday for a prediction but not working so will try again Monday.
The tax bill the government will take from my pension pot might make me think twice!
As I've moved around several jobs in my working career might take my employer 6 months to a year to sort out....
I'll let you know how it goes.

Yes, it has to be appropriate. Our council has adopted a no mow policy which I thoroughly support. At all road junctions the verges are cut sufficiently to give good sightlines.
Another borough perhaps 15 minutes drive away simply doesn't cut and there are junctions and one very fast roundabout where the sightlines have become a hazard.

Do you need to consider a name change?
As an aside HMRC can't touch your pot, 25% will always be tax free and the rest only becomes taxable when you chose to take an income. With a bit of thought a lot of tax can be avoided or planned for.

Having paid into the same pot for 40 years with the last 20 years paying from a decent salary I've likely exceeded the "life time allowance" of what you can pay into an NHS pension pot. That starts HMRC rubbing it's hands.
Change of name might be in order

Ah, yes. I've never had enough cash to worry about that. 😘

Only 23C here, in the shade, so not that warm.The tree has been sufficiently chopped to a height that Mr WD can cut himself if needs be. At least it won't take the power cables down now if something happens to it IE Gale force winds.
Bacon and egg sarnie has been consumed.
And in other news, it's scorchio

Hair cut, scrambled eggs on toast for lunch and now sat down for the tennis.

We have a Next outlet shop near us and the changing rooms were open in that this week. I wonder if the decision to open changing rooms is left to individual shop managers ?

I buy all my next stuff online as we just don't have a shop anywhere near here. The closest one is about 60 miles away.

Afternoon all . In other news I’ve been out on my bike again lol. My daughter wanted to test out her new ( to her ) road bike before she goes out on a club ride so I tagged alone . It was only another 10 miles but it’s better than nothing .
It was a win win really, as she bought me two coffees and a piece of fruit cake . 😀. It was too warm for a bacon batch . 😂
