Am I the only pensioner living abroad (France in my case) to be unhappy about the delay in the payment of my pension? This is supposed to be paid on the 15th of each month but can take eight days to reach my French account (in euros). I have taken this up with the pensions people but they shrug their shoulders and say it must be my French bank, which says it credits me the day the money arrives. I've been getting my pension in France for 20 years and have never had this problem before. Did the BBC not change its bank not so long ago?
Could it be the new bank sits on the money (earning interest) for a few days before transferring it? After all, it is all automated these days, no clerk sits at a stool with parchment and a quill pen. Maybe I am unlucky...

My BBC Pension in South Africa takes 4 working days always. Get it around 19th
Mind you my gripe is with my Uk State Pension which I paid into for 40+ years. Expats  here and Australia, Canada etc get NO pension rises each year or COLD WEATHER ALLOWANCE. It gets colder here than S of France or Spain.  So don't moan if you Beeb pension is a day late.  Even ex pats in the Caribbean get COLD WEATHER ALLOWANCE!!!!

Sorry but please forgive me for crying at your gross misfortune. (NOT )

Whats the price of beer in south Africa , just asking as Iam teatotal.
