I honestly don’t know how you guys on boats are doing it today, I’m sat in the shade at home and it’s proper hot, loving it though, like being on holiday in my back garden Spoke with daughter earlier, she is working from home.. she rang me from the paddling pool...she also said it’s like being on holiday in the back garden. We did laugh about the fuss being made by the media though. They do like a good panic.

It comes back to the relative humidity as I’ve said. 32C in Borneo was pretty hard to bear due to high humidity, whereas 50C in Turbat, SW Pakistan, was bearable (as long as you didn’t turn your face to the wind) as it was very dry, and therefore no noticeable sweat. But you had to drink water all the time. The 38 here has been with very low humidity so not too bad. 38c with high humidity would probably kill you fairly quickly. The humidity factor hasn’t really been mentioned by the news and forecasters, I guess they’ve never lived outside the UK.

Did I mention I completed my claim for state pension a few days ago he he 😁 Rog I logged on today to check my state pension quote. I'm still entitled at 66 and the monthly sum looks good. It did say something about 'there is no guarentee' and that the 'law might change'.....but other than that... Let's hope the youngsters continue to pay into the empty boomer pot.

I got a twitter suspension a while back for making the joke about being fat but identifying as a thin person - saying I'm Translender! some people just hang around waiting to be offended by something. Reported. Buuuuuut,have you saved it to file ?🤔

I'm still entitled at 66 and the monthly sum looks good. 66 for me too but £750 a month isn't really enough to live on so I'll carry on doing what I do and driving a truck in the Winter (provided I can pass the HGV medical next time around and then annually from 66 onwards but fortunately the severity of the HGV medical does seem to vary according to how short of drivers they are). Then the £750 is a Brucie Bonus rather than a lifeline. I actually enjoy the act of driving an articulated lorry and the interaction with the lads at work so I'm not desperate to retire.

If you have a private pension, can you also still draw the state pension? As Loddon says, yes. Some private pensions you can draw before your state pension date. Also if you are worried about paying too much tax if you have a good private pension, you can have your state pension deferred (in which case your state pension payments will be higher when you decide to draw them). You can log onto the HMRC Website to find out at what age you will receive state pension and how much (not guaranteed). www.gov.uk/check-state-pension

Jane's done that to me ... what with occupational pension, working 3 months a year, and now state pension, I pay tax. But if I paid twice as much I'd be pocketing twice as much too 👍👍 Like Mr Stabby I have no plans to stop the winter work ... I enjoy the social contact and interaction. I'm a lucky lad I know. Rog
