I'd have signed up for a pension plan, but the ones that are on the market lock in a major part of the capital and compulsorily give me an annuity (at negligible returns/ rates of interest). While some will argue that this is the whole point of a pension plan, I'd rather have the flexibility to take a lump sum and do whatever I want with it.

Your optimism is remarkable. Pension deductions are a form of taxation any way you look at it, either directly on the income if it is never redeemed, as some 30-40% of pensions are, or on the time of the pensionee in getting it back.
