Economist humour
We received our quarterly customer newsletter from Brittania Finacial Services today, these are the people we used to liberate one of my UK private pensions. I can’t say that normally the read is funny or fascinating, but then I don’t find my quarterly pension statements any more interesting at the moment.
So it was a pleasant surprise to find this humour;
When Albert Einstein dies, he met three New Zealanders in the quue outside the Pearly Gates. To pass the time, he asked: “What are your IQs?” The first replied “190″. “Wonderful”, exclaimed Einstein “We can discuss the contribution made by Ernst Rutherford to atomic physics and my theory of general relativity.” The second answered “150″. “Good” said Einstein “I look forwards to discussing the role of NZ’s nuclear-free legislation in the quest for world peace.” The third New Zealander mumbled “50″. Einstein paused, and then asked “So what is your forecast for the budget deficit next year?”Which also reminded me of some other economist humour, such as;
“For every economist, there is an equal and opposite economist”
“If all the economists were laid end to end, they’d never reach a conclusion” - George Bernard Shaw.

Just to let people know that we were actually not very impressed with Britannia and they way they handled our transfer. They were a bit snotty towards the end, and the hassles we had actually getting the money out of them was just not on.
Instead, I recommend talking to Alison at Lyfords.

She was incredibly helpful to me when I was re-writing the Pension Transfer chapter of Avalons Guide, and made the whole process easy to understand.
