You're listening to our podcast of Steve Allen.

Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today, Tuesday, August of 23rd,

just one day away from, well, we've done the Speed Awareness course.

Very successful, very successful.

And then what else does I have? Oh yes,

we got the money paid in. And then tomorrow we're going to see the broker because, you know,

I had two private pensions. So I get state pension, two private pensions, and I'm amalgamated them

into one sort of unit, both from different companies, strangely enough.

And one company, very slow, one company very quick.

And so what I'm allowed to do, well, anybody can do it, is you can take 25% of your pot tax-free.

So I thought, why not?

Why not take it? Why not take it? So it's my money. I've saved up for it.

So I'm going to take 25% tomorrow. And then the rest we reinvest as it stands. So that's quite good.

I thought that was quite a good result, actually. It cost me about 60 quid in petrol to get down there but i mean who cares doesn't really matter Patrick Swayze i was watching a film about him the other day actually it was very interesting

his widow lisa because he he died 2009 2009 he had pancreatic cancer

he would have turned 70 on Thursday.

And his widow, Lisa, says she misses everything about her late husband.

I'm not surprised. I thought he was charming.

I thought he was absolutely charming. Good looking, witty. They seem very happy together.

And I can well imagine that she misses everything about him.

You know, you can see that.
