Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
Fears for the East Coast Caravan industry following a VAT rise in | :00:06. | :00:14. | |
the Budget. Anything that pushes that price up | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
for the public in the current economy has to be bad news. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
After a search which ends in tragedy, a community comes together | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
to say goodbye to Stuart Gilson. At the mercy of the level crossing. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
How a solution may be in sight for shoppers in Lincoln | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Famous names at a Grimsby Art Gallery, but are the paintings what | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
they seem? More fine dry weather to come. The | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
latest coming up shortly. Good evening. The leaders of one of | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
the most important manufacturing industries in Hull and East | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Yorkshire say they face an uncertain future after George | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Osborne's budget. The makers of static caravans will have to charge | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
thousands of pounds more when a VAT loophole is closed in October. Nine | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
out of ten caravans sold in the UK are made in this area, and the | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Government believes sales could fall by a third. It's more than 24 | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
hours since the Budget and the effects on our lives, from | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
transport, to leisure and the family purse are still emerging. | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
First tonigh,t Anne-Marie Tasker reports on the caravan trade. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
For caravan builders big and small, it's the worst news they could have | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
been given. Here at ABI in Beverley, they make a quarter of the UK's | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
holiday homes. And they fear charging VAT on selling these | :01:44. | :01:54. | |
static caravans will hit jobs. have 350 employees. Statistics are | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
stating that they expect the market to reduce by 30 %. As a | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
manufacturer, parties probably Elise 1,000 jobs that will | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
disappear. And the news couldn't have come at | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
a worse time for Victory Leisure Homes. Today, they rolled the last | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
van out of their old factory in Hull, having spent millions on | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
bigger premises to make more vans. Anything that pushes the price up | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
to the public in the current economy has got to be bad news. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
Around 17,000 caravans are made in the UK every year, 90 percent of | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
:02:45. | :02:47. | ||
them in East Yorkshire. The price will escalate. It is feared that a | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
hike in prices could reduce the market by as much as 30 %. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
East Yorkshire's caravan industry is still recovering from 2008's | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
recession. Credit was hard to find and hundreds of jobs were lost. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Hull MP Diana Johnson says this is the last thing the industry or this | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
area needs. At last the government to think again about this, and | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
consider whether this is the thing to do for a mummified in part of | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
industry that is just getting on its feet again. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
And this could impact on caravan parks up and down the East Coast. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Here in Hornsea, they're spending four million pounds on expanding | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
the site. Now they're worried about filling it. We would have preferred | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
to see something like that introduced over time, to allow | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
businesses to plan. Tomorrow, the heads of caravan | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
companies are meeting to try to fight this tax change. There may be | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
a rush in sales before October, but the industry fears it could wipe | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
away jobs and profits next year. I will be talking to Graham Stuart | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
about the impact of this short eighth. -- shortly. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
A look now at some of the other effects of the Budget. The owners | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
of amusement arcades along the east coast have lost their battle | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
against having a tax imposed on slot machines. A 5% levy will go on | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
earnings from all gaming machines with a jackpot of less than �25. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
Small businesses will be much worse off. Bolt of them are based at the | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
coast. -- a lot of them. Moving onto transport. Toll prices | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
on the Dunham Bridge in Lincolnshire are set to rise from | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
April the 1st. The increase is a result of the Government scrapping | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
a tax reimbursement scheme, so VAT will now be charged to bridge users. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
The charge for a car crossing the River Trent into and out of | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Lincolnshire will go from 30 to 36 pence. | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
And some bus fares in Hull and East Yorkshire are to rise by up to 10%. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
East Yorkshire Motor Services blames the increase on higher fuel | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
duty and a cut in Government subsidies to bus operators. We have | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
lost roughly �700,000 a year through one scheme. Now, from next | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
month, we are losing �600,000 a year in the grant we get to offset | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
:05:33. | :05:34. | ||
against your duty. It is just not possible. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
It's been called a "granny tax". George Osborne has reduced a long | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
standing tax allowance for pensioners. The Government says | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
they won't be worse off in cash terms, but campaigners say over 65s | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
will be worse off by up to �285 in future years. We have been through | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
the hard times. Now, we should be... Well, we should be not living in | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
paradise, but we should not have to worry. We should not have to worry | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
about the next Budget and in taking a little bit more, if you get away | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
with this. Besides, millionaires do not need the money. | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
An increased tax allowance from next year will put more than �200 a | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
year into the pockets of millions of workers. We met one family from | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Horncastle in Lincolnshire who say their finances are so tight, they | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
would almost be better off on benefits. They're worried about a | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
rise in petrol prices. Here's Jake Zuckerman. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
8am in the Hobson household. Dad Stewart gets the kids ready for | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
school. As he's setting off to work, Helen gets back from her night | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
shift at an old age home. To get to work, both need their own car. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Helen says the Government should have cut fuel duty. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
We probably spend around �80 to �100 a week running two cars. That | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
:07:05. | :07:07. | ||
is a lot of money off our wages. Oil has increased as well. We are | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
in the country and we have to run on oil. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Stewart works 38 hours a week. Helen works 22 hours. Including | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
wages, tax credits and child benefit, the family of six | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
currently live on �620 a week. If Helen gave up her job, they would | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
still have �612 a week to live on. Despite their best efforts, Helen | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
calculates that, financially, the family might even be better off if | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
she gave up work. I am bringing in an extra �8 a week | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
working, if you take into account benefits and everything. So, I am | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
actually not working for anything, apart from I enjoy my job. | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
With petrol duty due to go up by around 3p a litre in August, the | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
Hobsons, like many in rural areas, feel more could be done to help. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
The Government says the rise is fuel duty in August is smaller than | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
the previous Labour administration had planned and that it's put a | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
system in place to stop above inflation rises in the future. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
I'm joined by the Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness, Graham | :08:10. | :08:19. | |
Stuart. Good evening. Hello. I want to start with caravans. The | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
government acknowledges static caravans sales will fall. Do you | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
support it? I am very concerned about that particular aspect. David | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
Davis and I have requested a meeting with the Chancellor. Do you | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
:08:44. | :08:46. | ||
think that can be changed? It comes in on October 1st. We did not know | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
about this until it came. I hope to learn more about it, and with David, | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
we will be putting a strong case. The caravan industry in East | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Yorkshire is very important. Places that will be have been a three-day | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
:09:12. | :09:20. | ||
working for a while. I think we need to make sure people like the | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
family you were just talking To will be better off working. We need | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
to make sure it does not have any inadvertent impact on an area such | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
as East Yorkshire. Using their caravan thing is probably a | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
mistake? -- you think the caravan thing is probably a mistake? I | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
think it's a has the potential to have a big impact on the local area. | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
We will address concerns. Briefly, those who turn 65 next year, they | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
will not be overjoyed by this tax allowance. What you say to these | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
people? We are lifting 2 million people out of tax altogether. We | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
are lifting how much you can earn before you pay tax to �9,200. We | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
are looking to lift that further in future, accelerating that whenever | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
we can. In the future, hard-working families will be on the same tax | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
band as those who were retired. That will be fair. We want to make | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
sure those on low incomes are are rewarded for having worked, having | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
saved, and that is why we are lifting the allowance. This is a | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
Budget for jobs. I think it is one we can celebrate, not withstanding | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
issues such as the caravan one. Thank you very much for talking to | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
There's been a big response from you to the Budget. Robert in | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
:10:57. | :11:20. | ||
Did George Osborne have any choice but to make unpopular decisions on | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
:11:30. | :11:35. | ||
tax allowance, VAT, fuel duty and cigarettes? Do you support their | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
:11:46. | :11:55. | ||
decisions? Will have a few thoughts And tonight's Question Time here on | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
BBC One is from the Grimsby Auditorium. The Business Secretary, | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
Vince Cable, is one of the guests, as well as the local MP David Davis. | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
A funeral for Stuart Gilson has been attended by more than 300 | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
people. Mourners said the 21-year- old from Hull touched the lives of | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
many people. The searches during the six weeks Stuart was missing | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
drew huge public attention. Jo Makel spoke to people who attended | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
today's service. So many came, the large chapel | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
couldn't hold them all. Mourners gathered in the corridors. They | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
watched on TVs in the waiting room. And all for a man whom many of them | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
didn't know. I have got a lot myself a round about his age. I | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
would not have wished it on anybody. We were searching all the time, so | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
we wanted to pay our respects. the city of Paul, they look after | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
their own. -- City of Paul. The strength and determination of | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Stuart Gilson's family inspired the community. Hundreds of people | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
joined them to scour Hull and the surrounding countryside. A Facebook | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
page attracted 25,000 members. They hoped to find him alive, but his | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
body was finally discovered in the River Humber. Drypool Bridge, where | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
he was last seen, has become a focus for tributes. Today, his | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
mother tearfully reflected on her son's cheekiness and | :13:26. | :13:34. | |
irresistability. He was a nuisance and a great listener too. The | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
funeral was very personal and yet important too for the family, that | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
anyone who wanted to come was welcome. He has touched many lives. | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
It is nice to think there are all these people prepared to come back | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
today. Maybe if some other person goes missing, these people might | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
help to look for them as well. Not every missing person attracts | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
the same attention as Stuart Gilson did. His family made sure he was | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
not forgotten. And now in his memory, they've asked for donations | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
to a missing persons charity, to help other families in the future. | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
Still ahead tonight: Hull finds out which games it's got in the Rugby | :14:21. | :14:26. | |

cast Paul forecast fog. She got a lovely day! What's cope | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
with her? I think there is a bit of cloth ear syndrome going on here. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
You cannot call our viewers cloth ears! | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
Why not! The headline for the next 20 FA powers. It is quite decent, | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
because it will be dry but I suspect there will be more cloud | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
around. The club should break-up and there should be sunshine around. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
There will be a breeze along the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire coast. | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
You can see them is not a cloud in the sky. It has been a beautiful | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
day across all parts. Temperatures have ranged from nine in | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
Cleethorpes to 15, 16 in Bourne. I think it will be clear for the | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
first part of tonight, but later it turns misty and grey. Like last | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
night, there will be a widespread ground frost. It got to-one in | :16:17. | :16:22. | |

weekend. Pleasance bowls of Fiona the ice-cream seller put on | :17:18. | :17:22. | |

An official report has been released into an explosion at | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
Scunthorpe's Pods leisure centre last summer. It concludes that the | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
cause was a worker mixing chlorine tablets with another chemical. The | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
explosion delayed the opening of the swimming pool by seven days. | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
A solution could finally be found to level crossing closures in | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
Lincoln. The barriers can close up to ten times an hour at busy times, | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
splitting the city in two. Now, talks are taking place to look at | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
two new footbridges. Here's Leanne Brown. It's a familiar sight in | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
Lincoln City Centre, shoppers waiting at the level crossing. | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
delays my journey to work and home again. I have to time mice that | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
time and finish time. It is a general in convenience. It seems to | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
be down every time you are coming along. Very annoying. The mass of | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
people you get here, you cannot walk. The majority of Lincoln's | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
high street shops are run that side of the crossing, so retailers on | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
this side fear that people stop, get bored and walk off. This health | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
food shop has been feeling the effects of the crossing for years. | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
It has affected business a lot. People do not tend to come across | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
the crossing, because they get stuck by a train if not one way, | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
then the other. Lunchtime trade has definitely job. People cannot | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
afford the time to get stuck by the trains. There has been some | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
benefits for the sweet shop. means that we have mad rushes. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
People walking into town come in sometimes. Other times, we do not | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
have people in four or five or 10 minutes. Network Rail said a bridge | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
will cut waiting times, and it would improve safety. | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Leanne, people in Lincoln will want to know how soon the footbridges | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
could be installed? Well, I must stress that the plans | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
are in a very Elise stages. The idea is to build a footbridge here, | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
where we are now on the High Street, and another one further down there | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
track near the university. Network Rail say they are working closely | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
with the university and the city Council, and are planning on | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
putting a planning proposal together and submitting that in the | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
summer. As you know, these things do take time, but some retailers | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
are I spoke to say it cannot come soon enough. One shopkeeper who did | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
not want, camera said he had kept a record, and over one hour's period | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
on a Saturday, the barriers were down for a staggering 38 minutes. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
Thank you. We will follow that story and let you know what happens. | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
A swimmer from Fulbeck in Lincolnshire says she has been | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
inundated with support from her local community since qualifying | :20:16. | :20:19. | |

swimming career all started in Fulbeck with some sibling rivalry. | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
The competitive edge between me and my brother made me get better and | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
better! That is how it started for Three years ago, a hip operation | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
set Sophie's training back, but at the British Swimming Championships | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
two weeks ago she overcame all the obstacles to qualify for the 200m | :20:59. | :21:09. | |

individual medley. She... When she got halfway through the race, we | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
knew she had it. It was frightening to see her completed. Tears filled | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
up in my eyes. It was incredible. Years of dedication and commitment. | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
After the operation, she has come back. She has made it. It will be | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
an experience of a lifetime. Not many people get to do it. I am very | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
excited to be one of them. Sophie will be back in this pool in | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
London's Aquatics Centre at the end of July, when the world will be | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
watching. Plans for the BBC's Olympics | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
:22:00. | :22:10. | ||
coverage have been revealed. Here in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
there'll be a special programme on Monday, June 18th. We'll be live | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
from West Park in Hull as the Olympic flame arrives. | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Hull has failed to be selected to host either the quarter finals or | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
semi finals in next year's Rugby League World Cup. The city will | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
host three matches in the early stages of the tournament, and | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
France and Papua New Guinea will base themselves here. Officials at | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
Hull City Council admit they're disappointed. Linsey Smith has more. | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
Pupils at the Sirius Academy have long had a passion for rugby league. | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
But in October, they'll welcome the French national side to share their | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
facilities. Just one way Hull will be involved in this year's world | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
cup. To get three, I think it is outstanding. | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Craven Park will host two early stage matches - France v Papua New | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Guinea and Samoa v Papua New Guinea. England v Fiji will take place at | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
:23:05. | :23:07. | ||
the KC Stadium. Is it is appointing? It is a big | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
disappointment. We are the hub of rugby league in this part of the | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
world. We expected if we didn't get the semi-final, we would get a | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
quarter-final. The last time Hull hosted rugby league World Cup | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :23:41. | ||
action was aimed 1995. A young Stanley Gene was spotted playing | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
for Papua New Guinea. He went on to enjoy a long playing career in the | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
city, a world away from his home in the Papua New Guinean mountains. | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
It's hoped Hull's place in this World Cup will provide more | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
inspiration. Not only to visiting players, but the young spectators | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
set to enjoy it. A small art gallery in Grimsby | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
thinks it may have a collection by some of the world's most famous | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
artists. The pictures, from the collection of one man from Louth in | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
Lincolnshire, contain what some experts believe are Van Goghs, | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
Picassos and Manets. Emma Massey went for a look. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Could this be the work of world famous artists? It seems unlikely | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
to find paintings by Vincent Van Gogh in a gallery in Grimsby. The | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
paintings form part of a collection which belongs to Mandy | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
Cruickshank's husband. He suddenly started looking through auctions | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
and things, to see what was there. Every so often, one would jump out | :24:48. | :24:56. | |
at him as being something special for stopped -- special. | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
Although these paintings might look authentic to the untrained eye, | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
none of them are actualy signed. But that doesn't seem to bother the | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
curators here. There are so many ways an artist can sign, it does | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
not have to be his signature. It can be the way he addresses his | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
subject, the way he places his still lifes together. Painter | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
almost acts like blood at a crime scene. | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
Such is the intrigue behind unsigned work, there's even a BBC | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
programme, Fake Or Fortune, which investigates the mystery behind | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
paintings. Picasso, Van Gogh, this exhibition is potentially worth | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
millions and millions of pounds. But perhaps it isn't. One thing is | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
for sure. The people that are coming to see these paintings do | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
not seem to mind if they are authentic or not. I'm really like | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
the mystery. Some of the magic is the unknown of the exhibition. That | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
attracted me. There is so much energy in it. The call has bounced | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
off the screen into your eyeballs, so to speak -- the cause. That is | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
why are like these particular a. It'll cost thousands to attempt to | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
authenticate this collection. Maybe what'll make it so special is the | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
not knowing. Then again, maybe it doesn't even matter. | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines. | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
The man alleged to have murdered seven people in France is killed | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
following a siege. Caravan companies in East Yorkshire | :26:27. | :26:37. | |
:26:37. | :26:53. | ||
say a new tax could hit them hard. Response coming in on the subject | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
of the Budget. Josie said, this government had no choice, let them | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
do what they think will help, they will make a difference. Jillian | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
says, I am fed up with the moaning about the Budget, most of the | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
moaners have fruited the Government's aim, so why now | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
complain? Roy says, what is wrong with our society when a family | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
cannot manage on �600 a week? Derek and Chris say, although we are | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
retired, we worked on our lives are saved. Because we have contributed | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
to pensions, we are not a burden on the benefits system. It seems there | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
is no incentive for people to save as we have, because we are then hit | :27:31. | :27:35. |
