Yes - you're right. The culprit is the 2˝% minimum element of the triple lock. Mathematically, if annual economic growth remains below 2˝% perpetually, then pensions will exceed cash available (in theory). Hence unsustainable.

I'm a pensioner so can't afford a handbag, I do have a pointy stick though

Surely the answer then, is to attain annual economic growth greater than 2˝% . . . how hard can it be?
