Re: Christmas bonus

Our Christmas Bonus was stopped completely back in 2009, this year we got 75% of it reinstated, that means we got 75% of our weekly pension as a bonus, it'll go straight back to them in the new household charges they introduced, giving it with one hand and taking it back with the other, but it makes them look good in some eyes, such bloody hypocrisy.

Re: Christmas bonus

I didn't know about the bonus and was surprized to see it on my bank statement. Wow a whole £10. Still, that's 4 bottles of Leffe beer or a bottle of Croft sherry or 2 Gressingham ducks (all from ASDA).

Re: Christmas bonus

Well, I've just spent my Christmas Bonus

I get two occupational pensions, my OAP, and I've recently had my winter heating allowance. So although £10 is nice, I don't really need it

I've just come back from doing a bit of shopping in the town centre. I bought a 'Big Issue'; and there were collections for a local hospice, and a local children's charity. That's where my bonus went, to people who would probably appreciate it more than I would.
