Have you looked into paying voluntary class 3 NI contributions? You can check on line what your state pension is going to be and if you have been contracted out which it sounds like you have been if you have a government backed pension (I am in a similar position) then you can pay every month...

I was watching something about trains a while back and I am fairly certain the USA, Canada and Alaska have fire fighting trains. Just had a quick look on Youtube and Russia has them too, my guess would be a lot of countries have them.

Whatever Gavin Williamson has got on Boris, it must be extremely serious, I don't see how else he is still in post. He must be getting dizzy with all the U turns he has to keep doing. All primary schools in London to remain closed after U-turn | Schools | The Guardian

If the new virus variant raises the R level by up to 0.7 (see link below for latest research) then I don't think it's sensible to open schools, Collages and Universities in a week or two. It would make more sense to keep them closed until the end of January, during that time try and get...

Good to see it's the same Barry we know and love :D

Hi Barry/50 Hz/Tilson.

My wife had the Pfizer vaccine yesterday she is a front line health worker. She said it was less painful than the flu vaccine but this morning her arm feels like someone has punched it really hard. Her team were all vaccinated yesterday and they all have the punched in the arm feeling today...

Zlatan, I made this post a few weeks ago, you probably didn't see it as I don't think you were monitoring this forum at that time. "I was watching one of these today, sailing off the coast of my village. I had no idea these things actually existed, the speed it could travel when it was up on...

I did not sell up my investments in March and come April/May time I certainly wished I had done but I listened to people like the guys that run the Monevator web site (check it out if you don't know about it) and they were telling everyone to hang on and do not sell up at the bottom. I was...

Someone on Boomberg markets saying that the rumor in Brussels is that the UK has moved significantly in the last few hours, the chance of a deal is very likely from as early as today. Has anyone heard anything else?

Just read the following description of Boris on another forum, made me laugh out loud. "Still, I am not surprised that a man who dresses like he shops in Age Concern with the lights turned off and brushes his hair with a balloon conducts his professional life in the same carelessly chaotic...

I was listening to David Salisbury on the radio earlier today he made the following suggestion which seems to make a lot of sense. He said the Pfizer vaccine provided 91% protection with one dose and this increased by 4% to 95% protection with a second dose. His idea is while there are not...

That article is referring to the Lateral flow tests not the PCR test. I think it has been made public for some time that the Lateral flow tests were fairly unreliable, but until I saw Tice mention that the PCR tests were also unreliable (according to him) I had not seen anything about that.

I was watching Politics Live today and Richard Tice was one of the guests. He said that the PCR test that is being used in all the NHS labs is faulty as it produces so many false positive results. He is a politician and I don't think has a health background so I tend to take what someone like...

Yes I think everyone wants to know that but its too early to tell at the moment. From what I have read although they can't say for sure they (they being health experts and not politicians) think its extremely likely that once vaccinated (both doses) you will no longer be asymptomatic.
