Anyhow, must dash now, I'm required on a supermarket site in Lincoln by 10.30, on call day, overtime day, and mileage chargeable, loadsamoney day.
What sort of crappy backward County still allows toll bridges ?
A57 to Lincoln and there's a bloody toll bridge, 40p each friggin way, thats almost two miles of mileage allowance wasted, had to drive round in circles for a bit to make that up.
Seriously, how many A roads still have highwaymen working them ?

Dunham Toll Bridge, I'm surprised you weren't aware of it.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Only when half a mile away
I normally head to Lincoln from the north rather than from the east, decided to go a different way today just for the hell of it, grrrrr...
Its not even an impressive bridge.

Don't worry, what's best for you will be decided by a totally impartial advisor. Then your fund will not be be seen as a cash cow and the investment performance will not be dismal and finally at the end of it all the annuity rate will not be mickey poor. Your pension will be one you can depend on and your retirement will be comfortable ... trust me I used to be a financial advisor. lol

You left out the bit about a retirement spent cruising the world on your pension.

Beware of anyone offering independent financial 'advice'. They will probably recommend the policy that makes them the most commission. 25 years later you will be trying to track down them / their insurer to bring a claim for a mis-sold policy.
