 This may be of absolutely no interest to anyone, but I have now officially retired. After years of chasing my private pension fund for details (I do mean years and with the perilous state of pension funds in the UK I finally got them and decided to grab my dues while I could). This will not stop me doing other work; but I can now take a deep sigh, focus on my convalescence and enjoy myself with a few projects I've been meaning to do. np Stevie Ray Vaughan Nick P.S. I fancy a lapel-badge with 'Officially a Grumpy Old Man' printed on it

Happy Retirement
As I said the other day on the phone Nick, may I be the first to wish you a long and happy "retirement". Somehow though I suspect the story does not end here...
Good on yer, mate!

Retirement
Congratulations Nick - I hope you enjoy it. It still looks like another five-and-a-bit years for me, though I got a surprise when a colleague/friend of mine who turns out to be two months younger than me announced that he would be retiring when he hits 55 this September! I'm now thinking of myself as entering a long pre-retirement phase where I will start cultivating the things which will sustain me once I depart working life - like a pension! But my bookshelves are lined with loads of booksi bought when i was a student (72-75) (expecting that I would get time to read them when I was an unemployable psychology/anthropology/English graduate) so it now looks like I've got five years' worth of post retirement reading at least. i was also browsing a website for sitars - if ravi shankar can keep playing into his eighties, surely I can start learning in my fifties...Let's face it, now you've got your pension sorted out enough that you've retired,there will be so much freedom in terms of time that life will never be "such monotony..."
Best wishes
Alan Jones
