Pension update update :-)

Anyone who has been following the saga will be pleased to know that Alan is now a pensioner! Not that he has retired, really - he'll still be doing all his exam work - but he'll never need to set foot inside a classroom again or sit dreading the phone ringing...
What's more, they've backdated it to 9th December, which is when it should have started anyway, before NEL messed it up.
I do love a happy ending :-)
