Mark Scantlebury and Vincent Franklin set up Quietroom in 2003, knowing only enough about pensions to reckon they could make a difference.

20 years on – they have!

They gave a great party last night – befitting an organization that has given much more to pensions than it has taken out.

Here’s Bob Dylan in Subterranean Homesick Blues, reminding us that though we’re all 20 years older , we ain’t 20 years wiser!

20 years of schooling and they put you on the day shift

I’ll take Bob’s  further advice

Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don’t wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don’t want to be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don’t work
‘Cause the vandals took the handles

Vince and Mark are still watching the parking meters, albeit at a safe distance. It’s time for Simon, Rhys , Joe and the next generation to get that pump working again!
