The Happy Nomad

I should have read the report tbh. I doubt then she will have had the ability to take her pension at 50. Pensions from private health companies are rarely if ever as generous as the NHS. Even the new sections of the NHS pension don't allow early retirement until age 55.

She may have taken early retirement from the NHS, depending which scheme she was on she could have done so at 50. Then moved to the private sector, where her earnings wouldnt impact on her NHS pension. She is 54. It will be far from a kings ransom, especially if she retired early but she possibly will have some other regular income source all be it a very modest one.

Some of you will be glad to know it seems to restricting long haul caravan use. We have driven down from Calais to Midi Pyrenees over the last two days. We would usually see loads of Brits hauling their wobble boxes down the A10/A20, and we would usually be doing the same had we not decided last year to book a gite this time. Literally have seen no more than a couple of (incorrectly GB) plated car and caravans on our way down. Some motorhomes but still not as many as previous years. Road fuel seems ever so slightly cheaper here but ISTR Macron gave the French a better duty cut than our govt. Its still not cheap by any means though.

Utter nonsense.

Again, I dont think anybody indulged in bullying of the OP based on his sexuality, did they?

Are you reading the same thread as everyone else? I cant really see anything that constitutes 'bullying'.

On this day today...... Crap photo alert. River Seine Paris as we zipped along the Peripherique, Mrs HN managed to grab a snap.
