Re: generous pension schemes
Nov 28, 2002, 15:07
Everyone should have a pension scheme like the firefighters'.

I wasn't saying that they should stop moaning because they do have a good scheme, I was just pointing out that the analogy with the supermarket in the article is a crap one.

If you were to use a supermarket to correctly parallel the situation you'd end up with something like:

You go to a supermarket for the next 25 years and give them some wheat seeds. The supermarket trebles the amount of seeds and plants them for you and (hopefully) looks after the plants well, then after the 25 years is up you get free bread for the rest of your life.
