Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Is there an "animals we've been bitten by" thread?
@diminutivefox.bsky.social starts with an adder.
Me: penguin.
Galapagos, snorkeling. Penguin appears & floats serenely on the surface not a foot from my nose.
I drift and watch, entranced.
Then his mate sneaks up behind me and bites my finger.

"Why don't you replace this thing that costs a fiver to replace at Timpson's with a £500 device that also means making all your locks electronic and internet enabled so someone can track when you go in it out and then in five years the company servers will go offline and your doors won't work."

I concur.
Having spent a significant amount of time in various bits of the NHS over the last few years there does seem to be the misapprehension that working "harder" or "more" equals "better".
Which it clearly doesn't.
I don't want a tired or overworked doctor or nurse.
I'd think that was obvious?

NHS productivity is often framed as working harder or doing more work.
This is the wrong perspective and a harmful one that makes achieving productivity improvement harder...
