I'm not quite a baby boomer, but I an an old fart who is getting my pension so pin your ears back and listen up...

I completely agree with you.

We are all in this and some of us have had it well good. For the vast majority enjoying the benefits of a pension that future generations will not get, this change amounts to buttons. I give way more than this by Standing Order to my favoured charity every month.

Some of you old timers need to have a look at yourselves and pick your battles a bit harder. Irrespective of past hardships we need to do our bit as well, and frankly, compared to the cutbacks to pensions in various other countries we have not yet been asked to do much. RPI to CPI is f*** A** for most of us, so I will give it up, so I can legitimately rant at some of the other public sector chisellers currently striking in defiance of reality and the need to as least bow a little towards austerity.
