I'm not saying that pensions in the private sector are rubbish, I have a fairly good pension plan.

But most importantly my pension is not underwritten by the treasury.

My pension when due in the public sector will be the amazing sum of £7,500 a year when i retire thats at present before the new schemes kick in, and honestly i lay awake at night wondering how i am going to spend such an amazingly large sum of money.
Without knowing how much you pay in, how long you have been paying in and at what age you intend to retire it's impossible to comment.
