Time for management to face up to their responsibility
Lloyd’s Register Foundation has just awarded £500k+ to a project promoting “corporate accountability” across ocean industries.
Yet the company it owns - Lloyd’s Register - has, for a decade, declined the pension trustees’ recommended discretionary increases to pre-1997 benefits, which have lost around 30% of their real purchasing power.
A charity funding accountability while its own business freezes long-serving pensioners’ pre-97 accruals.
Worth a look?

48 hours in Glasgow. 3 great shows. Time in Kelvingrove Park. Picked up a Starbucks mug for a mate. 3 #30DaysWild posts. Dinner with @PeakeTweets Still 6 hours until I catch my train (I hope), so time for another wander and perhaps the odd glass of cold white wine!
#30DaysWild 2026 is already on day 22. Four of my most memorable shots to date. Full posting each day on Facebook plus a shot of the day.
Fun day trip to Derby to see Little Shop of Horrors. Brilliant show and a great programme from @JohnGoodLtd
Great day out @ColchesterZoo I was so pleased to be able to have a chat with one of my favourite panto dames @mjbpanto after an entertaining and informative show by @theanimalguyz (actually we saw 2 shows). My ducks even stayed until lock up as they were having so much fun.
Fun day out in Norwich. Arrived in torrential rain and travelling home on a beautiful spring evening. Miss Saigon @NorwichTheatre Royal was an amazing production. It was good to see two performers I had previously seen in panto, Mikko Juan and Aaron Teoh.
Totally agree
@ClwydTweets tonight for 12th Night. Not for the Shakespeare purists but if you don’t mind a new ending and enjoy great acting by an exceptionally talented cast this is for you. @phylipharries was made for the part of Malvolio.
If, like me, you love Shakespeare and pantomime, the @BirminghamRep production of Midsummer Night's Dream is definitely for you. Comedy, great music, and singing plus amazing costumes. At the matinee today, we were also treated to curtain raiser about the changeling child.
We had a brilliant time on Sunday at the very well organised @UKPantomime awards at The Swan in High Wycombe. It was great to catch up with mates, but I was disappointed I did not get to speak lots of people. Took the opportunity on Monday to have an explore before heading home.
Just one Easter Panto this year, but my duck 19877 and I picked a good one. The Little Mermaid at The Broadway Catford was great fun. I even enjoyed hearing Baby Shark again!! Impressive programme produced by @JohnGoodLtd Great to catch up with @riding_jamie after the show.
A two show day in Glasgow with my two ducks. First @PlayPiePint for the very entertaining Miss Lockwood isn't Well and secondly, Flora Macdonald. Historically accurate and very powerful. She is usually remembered for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape but she is so much more.
Brilliant visit to panto yesterday at Brick Lane Music Hall with my friend Gill and 19877 (2nd of the run for me and 19877). Lovely afternoon tea, good company, very funny show with a talented cast, including @andrewrobley, who has spectacular outfits. 19877 even got on stage.

Anyone else having trouble getting a refund from @atlas_for_men? They seem to think I have a duty to lend them money indefinitely.
Panto 53 and the final of the season at Brick Lane Music Hall. Jack and His Giant Stalk. Delicious meal and a happy, buzzing atmosphere. 19877, and I had a great time. Lost count of the number of costume changes for @andrewrobley. How they manage with so little space is amazing
Panto 52 (the penultimate of the season), and what better place than @BirminghamHippo for the spectacular Robin Hood. It was made more fun as not only was 19877 with me but also Loretta Andrews. Luckily, the train delay to Birmingham was only 45 mins, we still had time for meal!
Panto 51, our annual family outing to the beautiful @TheatreRoyalBSE for the last night of panto. This year's Rapunzel was special as we were joined not only by 19877 but by our 5 month old grandson who loved his first panto.
