    Men weren't affected because they had been doing the extra years, for years.But I do agree it should have be brought in in stages perhaps over a longer time.Not wanting to cause waves but surely the extra years meant you had 6 yrs longer to pay in to a pension?

    Recommend a climbing Rose please!

    I have Blush Noisette. Not the tallest climber, by any means, but if you are looking for willingness to please it’s a winner. Flowers from May to December. Rot proof. not too thorny. :)

    When I read about Bruce Springsteen's song I assumed he'd written new lyrics to "The Streets of Philadelphia". It will be interesting to hear the reaction to it, and whether it will be banned by the BBC.To be honest, they could ban it, but I suspect most people will hear it by other means anyway.

    I just use cheap safety gloves, usually buy 10 pairs at a time, they are not thorn proof but you can do fairly fiddly jobs while wearing them, just about keep the palms of your hands dry and have a rubbery grip. I've got some thick leather ones I use rarely if dealing with brambles.
