Payslip today: £30 less than it should be, thanks to this pensions nonsense.
I suppose I could look at the bright side: the pensions deduction is an extra £50, but that reduces tax by £20. But I'm still out £30.
It won't break me -- but it irks me, knowing that it's the consequence of extra zillions going into the pockets of a few thousand City types.

Ha! The clergy there would love to have a pension fund like USS. The CofE pension fund makes USS look like a well-oiled money making machine!
