Thanks to everyone in this thread, it compelled me to check it out for myself (not a poker pro but have been self employed for a long time so I wasn't sure what counted).
Quick Q if anyone knows. Are all qualifying years equal? Do two people who pay vastly different NI essentially get the same pension?

Yes, is the number of years you contribute, not the amount, I think you need 35 years contribution to get max pension.

Ha We went to a wedding a few weeks back where they had these weird photographers who had a load of props, spiderman masks, bo selecta masks and so forth. They made all the guests do one of these. Wedding was also, clearly, a free bar. |

It was a cracking wedding actually. The Father of the Groom started by putting £500 behind the bar, so the Uncle of the Bride put a grand behind the bar, and it kept going like that. They also had an ice cream van turn up with free ice cream for all. |

I wouldn't be happy turning up for a wedding and having to pay for booze. |

I've been to weddings where it's free all day/night, but others where the wine/day is free, and there is a bar in the evening.
I thought free all day/night was the occasional thing, rather than the norm.

Think this was the only free bar wedding I've ever been to. Been to plenty where a token amount was put behind the bar but it always quickly ran out. Also been to one where we had to bring our own booze.

normal that i goto is a free bottle of plonk between 6 or 8 with the meal and any other drink you pay for
most weddings i have gone to people are struggling to pay for the wedding never mind adding a free bar to it

I haven't been to huge amount of weddings (maybe an average of one a year for the last 10 years), but I've never been to one with a paid bar. I don't think they are particularly rich, but maybe they are richer than I thought lol.  |
