2ndclasscitizen - a little OTT on the salary, but not by much (more info if required).
WarmInTheMiddle - PW, right era but smaller nose. Although I do hear that Gonzo is considering a career change and is thinking of becoming a plumber!!
I fear that you missed my point twixt the moanin'. There is no incentive to stay in past 22 years. Indeed a 10k pension and 30k (taxman permitting) is a positive incentive to go, especially if you have a job to go to (I refer the Hon gentleman to the posting from 2ndclasscitizen ). Throwing money at those who were going to stay in untill their 22 point anyway has created a lot of bad feeling amongst those who are at, or just past, that point. Watch this space RE Jigsaw.
You say that I should not have had a go at the team as 'they' did your best under the circumstances. I was under the impression that this review started with a 'clean sheet of paper' and 'no preconceptions'!! Please explain what you mean.
