Inquisitor, you are ignorant.
My RAF pension gave me about 33% of final salary.
The same length of time in Local Government would give me about 25%. AND I've only just crept above the salary I left the RAF on 11 years ago, so quit bitching about how much we and Civil Servants get paid and how much our pensions are worth. I'm lucky if mine is even gold plated let alone solid gold. If you want to attack someone's pay and pensions, try MPs who really have it sewn up.
Like I said, stop blethering about things you know bu**er all about or I will likely start on how all service personnel get free coal, rent, electricity and gas as all civvies know only too well!!
Sheesh!!!!!!
