Between paying NICs ( sometimes very little, sometimes a lot ) and my NI credits I have 41 years.......it dosent matter if I become chairman of Shell and pay thousands in NICs I ain't getting a bigger state pension than I have already been promised.

I have my full quota of years, just like anyone else who has 35 years contributions whether through work or qualifying benefits.
