One-way ticket to Warsaw, please

December 8, 2008

As if those Poles unfortunate enough to still be in the UK needed another reason to pack their bags and return to their homeland, they are now to realise just how depressing their retirements would be if they stayed here.

Friends Provident has launched a pensions webcast in Polish to ensure that Polish employees of UK companies have sufficient information on the pension opportunities that are available to them.

That a market exists for such a product is astonishing - even Guru could learn enough Polish to explain the state of the UK pensions situation. In fact Guru already picked up the necessary phrase when he went on a stag do to Krakow.

But no, the poor Poles - already battered by the constant rain, the drying up of jobs and the mocking phonecalls from their compatriots working in a Euro 2012-fuelled boom back home - have to listen to an audio and visual overview of their corporate pension scheme's inner workings.

Guru thinks there may be a surge in the demand for one-way flights to Warsaw.
