I’m aware that fruit and veg is really good for you, but 8000 portions…??? Wow.

Are money purchase pensions becoming the “go-to” source for over 55s under financial pressure? Should they be? Are there alternatives? What might the impact be on these folk’s retirement?

[John Carter @EthosJohnC]

I wouldn't normally retweet what is in effect a newspaper article, but this is very useful explanation of why state pensions may be different to what you expect.

Why is my friend on a much bigger £250 a week state pension, though I earned more?

The treasury extends the availability of "mortgage payment holidays" for a further 3 months. This should give breathing room for those struggling financially, but remember, this will likely increase payments and/or repayment terms when all this is over. https://t.co/ifZ7SV4DoY

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

So, you've seen values of pensions and investments fluctuate wildly over the last few weeks. What's going to happen long-term? And do you need to do anything? #pensions #retirement #longterm

When did you last dig out your mortgage paperwork?

[Alan Lyons @alanwlyons]

Worth a read...!!!

[John Carter @EthosJohnC]

@Dominos_UK it's now 5 days since you took double payment without providing food, and 3 days since you sent a generic email. Still no refund.
Taking monies for a service and not providing it .....??

[John Carter @EthosJohnC]

@Dominos_UK online ordering not functioning properly. Ordered, paid. Said failed, twice. Payment taken from bank twice and no pizza

[John Carter @EthosJohnC]

@Dominos_UK You had one job.........🤷‍♂️

[John Carter @EthosJohnC]

@Dominos_UK @Dominos_UK good one Dominos. “Does this relate to an order?” Yes. “Contact your store”. Oh hang on. Website order only. Errrm

[John Carter @EthosJohnC]

@ChrisCarterRec @Dominos_UK Haha - however, it still looks like I’ve paid nearly £42 for the privilege of having nothing delivered!
Poor service. Will try elsewhere next time.

[John Carter @EthosJohnC]

@Dominos_UK not good enough.
Many people with same problem. Website says failed but takes money. Twice.
Will pizza arrive or not???
