btw, the age projections aren't from politicians, they are from statisticians and actuaries for the pension funds, who will have to pay out the monies.....

[/QUOTE]I said "beloved" by politicians amongst others who wish to make a point. Of course they are not created by politicians. The only things politicians appear to do on the creative front is to make a bigger mess than that in existence.
I have looked at many of the statistics available and from what I have seen there appears to be a lot of rather clever use of all age statistics which invariably push up the upper range. A friend of mine worked for a period of time as an actuary before going back into accountancy and as he used to "cherry pick to prove your point, put the onus on others to disprove".
