Have searched everywhere trying to find more details about the proposals for changes to state pensions wef 2016 but alas all has been in vain. All I can find, is that it is proposed that there will be a flat rate pension of around £140.00 ( But will other age related benefits be removed to compensate for that I wonder?). Even government websites are silent. Then I thought of looking at the Saga ...
Aren't the Police, SAR and Coastguard Service subject to public sector cuts/privatisation?

I believe there are also Cirl Buntings on the eastern side of Dawlish where all those hundreds of new houses are planned to be built. (Just saying...... )
There are signs along the sea wall foot path indicating that cycling is not allowed. Perhaps that is why they were 'turned back'?
@cheftallyrand - think you'll find that feminine hygiene products (as they are euphemistically known) are classified as luxury products in the Uk and are therefore subject to VAT.
The only cyclepath I know of is the one that runs from Dawlish Warren along the cliff top path emerging by the junction of Warren Road/Exeter Road. From there the cycle path is on the pavement until it (the cyclepath) abruptly stops around about the opposite of St Agatha's (?) RC Church when cyclists have to go back on the road and take their lives in their hands around that horrendous hair pin ...
Mock not the need to save on 20% here and 20% there. Every little 'elps (as a certain very, very, very, large supermarket chain is always telling us!) 50p per day extra on a pasty = £2.50 extra spent per 5 day working week = £25.00 extra spent every 10 weeks = £130 extra per year. That's £1,300 over a 10 year period. You could get a week's holiday in Spain for less.
So, to be clear (as I know nothing at all about VAT) let's say there are two bakery shops in a high street. One is part of a chain like, for example, Warrens, the other a one off independent. Both are presently selling large pasties at, say, £2.50 each. Would it be the case that come the introduction of this new VAT measure that the large pasties in the chain bakery would now cost £3.00 (£2.50 ...
