@RowlyPaul Mercedes C class with parasitic drain. Devil to track down. Many systems continue to operate/monitor for a long time after key off. Any intervention reawakened the whole system. Garage sussed it out by swapping control units with a working c class until problem resolved.
@AnneAshworth@Quilter Had a look at Retirement Lifestyle Figures. These are net annual expenditures and not gross income required. So at 4% drawdown to allow for inflation and allowing for tax the required fund would be significantly higher ie £62700 net is circa £93,000.
@AnnieBishop123 At that time if you married eg as a telephonist you gave up work. So this letter is to a married woman who might otherwise have given up work if a man came along she might be terminated. Different times/customs
