Forgot to say...if your retirement age is after 2010 you only need 30 years of contributions for full entitlement to a state pension (if before it's 39 years). That should help a lot of people but pity somebody who retires in 2009 - they would be ?1000 pa worse off...
Thanks was thinking about going to the bank but I doubt it'd be the best deal - pension calculator scared me as to what percentage of my wages I'd have to save to get a decent amount to live on
