She’s lucky, by the time I reach 80 there will be no State Pension!
Every fortnight she can get 1 bread roll from the morrisons in-store bakery.
They took the winter heating allowance away so the £1 a month extra will get her about an hour of having the heating on.
Most of a Freddo. Perhaps 3 spread across a month.
On a serious note, unless this is a mistake it’s important to remind people to pay into a pension. If your nan doesn’t need the money, great, but there will be people kicking themselves later in life.
This is all you get with a state pension?
A quarter of a pack wall plugs
25p mix.
She’ll be on the avocados the rest of us are cutting out
Don’t spend it all at once.
Fruit salads.
Pffft, sick of pensioners complaining about the winter fuel allowance being withdrawn while they’re absolutely flush with extra cash when they turn 80.
Custard creams
Couldnt even get Freddo 🙁
Carnt get in bus station bogs for piss for 25p. dwp sharing the wealth.
Lol I bet that letter cost more to send than 25p. But they had to send her the letter to tell her because she would never have noticed the extra 25p otherwise.
Tin of supermarket basics range spaghetti hoops.
You can get one spin of a slot machine in some casinos.
Give it to charity, probs to one of the countries we done the big imperialism too.
I would take the loss and pay for a postage stamp every week to send a letter back to them calling them something obscene…
25 penny chews a week!
Thats if we were still in the 1970s and 1980s.
(And 25 penny chews a week would mean that you were _rich!_ )
25pillion… wow! Is that the one after zillion?
Absolutely taking the piss. I hate this. The audacity!!
It’s not even worth the letter they write it on. Poor nan. She could save it up a buy a lottery scratch card each month!
A Greg’s steak bake every other month
A lunch-deal pizza and coffee at Franco Manca once a year if she’s a lousy tipper.
Looks like one for r/UKPersonalFinance
An extra £13 a year…
1 small cheap takeaway on your birthday every year!!
I do admin for government grants and the first time I saw this letter as a resident had submitted it for supporting evidence I was like really? That much money huh. They most be minted
Half a freddo?
Honestly receiving a letter like that at that age will make me just want to die.
Pensioners have it all nowadays.
You can buy so many more Intel shares with what she leaves behind now
Wow! A whole £13 a year! Amazing!
And it probably costs 50p to send out the letter.
0.19 Litres of Petrol
25 penny sweets? If they’re even still a thing.
Could get a syndicate going with the local kids.

Don’t break out the party poppers or she may not get to see a return on her investment.

Can you even get a Freddo for that these days?
If she invests it wisely for a couple of months she might be able to afford a Freddo.
One unit of electricity from Octopus. [If she waits until tomorrow she’ll get slightly more](https://www.octopriceuk.app/tracker).
