I know of a few cases where the offspring are claiming their pension at the same time as their parents. As they are likely to follow their parents on length of life I think the offspring should work until both parents have been deceased for 5 years and not be paid any pension during that 5 years occupational or state.
I actually agree! Regardless of whether or not Frank and Bentley are the same person, this thread is one of those ridiculous statements of opinion which the OP knows will create a stir...
Nonu, I think we're at cross-purposes here! I was just saying that I doin't think either Frank or Bentley would take offence at any post questioning whether they were one and the same person - let alone be bothered enough to report it!
Is it possible that someone at HQ noticed the post and decided to delete it? Does a post have to be reported by one of us to be deleted? I can't believe that any regular poster would be bothered to report something so trivial which doesn't do any harm to anyone. Come to that, how many of us read the guidelines so minutely as to know that this contravenes them?
Must have been somewhere else long enough ago to slip down the timeline and disappear. I don't remember it. The theory has been around for some time anyway, I can't imagine it offending anyone's sensibilities if it was just wondering. Similar theories have been expressed about other pairs of posters without deletions.
