Reality has hit home

[norm]

What's just as scary is the number of older people on this forum. I joined it pre-nuke when I was just about in my late 20's. I'm now in my early 50's and many people here are older. We used to be a forum of young people but we got old. Sad face.

Time waits for no man.

The thing is the Internet was a very different place back then, it's so ubiquitous now with social media and the like, it's nice that this forum has largely remained the same over the years.

Hagar - You mentioned your trips from Nantwich so just assumed you were not far from me.

I retired at 55 - took company redundancy package + a bit of health problems -All of which seemed to go after retirement - Especially the cronic headaches. - I never realised how much I hated working -- Did have to take a part time job till 65 and got state pension which helps a lot -My real goal is, as I worked for 40 yrs I really want to claim 40 yrs of state pension so need to get to 105. Not on though.

Heh heh, I did 47 years, 36 for the same employer although they changed identity a couple of times. No way that I will reach my 112th birthday either. I am about to go house hunting in Nantwich again (yes you were right), so BP through the roof, no doubt.

I like your outlook, you sound like you don't take yourself too seriously. For me, that's a key element to a good life
