Having now read all the latest updates and information may I add my name to the list of those in favour of a Buy Out. As far as I can see the main objection appears to be in the area of discretionary increases in addition to some arrangement to protect against inflation. To have both right now would be a luxury. To have just some protection against inflation would be a bonus. Right now, forgetting the 1.7% last year (the first increase in 12 years), we have next to nothing. So in my perhaps restricted view we have everything to gain and nothing to lose. And since I have now passed my “life expectancy” I fear I have even less to lose.
