Not this old chestnut again.....

My wife is a civil servant, with 25 years service, and will work another 15 years before she retires at 66.

When she does, as an Executive Officer, her pension will be 40/60ths of her salary, so her pension will be the equivalent of £700 per month after tax (and most of the Civil Service are her grade or below - around 90% at the last (conservative) estimate).

Must be a new definition of "gold plated" I hadn't come across before - £160 per week....
