Maybe mine was an estate agent in a former life (he sounded almost smarmy enough). I shall have another conversation with him and if he wants more than I think is fair I shall say goodbye and look into it myself.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

By and large most are on here for a slight humorous distraction and perhaps a bit of knowledge, so it’s posters like you that keep us all entertained

I am lucky enough to have worked in the public sector most of my life and two private pensions. Advice on both occasions given to me was commute as much as you can tax free, did both times and never regretted it. Not commuting in my case would have also meant going into the 40% tax bracket which is something you have to take into consideration especially at some point there will be the state pension to be added to your income. Currently mine is sitting in Premium Bonds earing a lot better income than any bank can provide with the added bonus of again being tax free
