Whoopee - as I thought -a little over two and a half years .And as they say ,I'm entitled to Pension Credit -I'm getting it as I was made redundant a few months ago,and it pays more than JA ( but still maintain it's another unemployment figure fiddle )

I opted out of SERPS a long time ago. My private pensions were set at 50, but that's changed now thanks to that thieving scumbag at No. 10.

I've retired three times now, and at 73 am still in full-time work with the same employer (although the first time I 'retired' I was on for them self-employed) Long may I continue to be here, as (1) I do enjoy the work and (2) I have become used to the extra wonga (of course the OH is also still in full-time employment at very slightly younger age but I think she is going to finish next June.) Well, I do have a car and caravan to maintain (the daily Rover 45TDI for commute Oxford/LHR, the caravan for pleasure) and a Ford Model A 1929 replica for fun. All costs, dunnit?
I do realise that at this age I am lucky to be in work, especially when I heard on the radio the other day of a bloke made redundant in 1983 who has only just got back in work...

Good point that - my Dad was in full-time work until he was 78 - six months after stopping work he was gone. While the primary cause of his demise was lung cancer brought on by very heavy smoking way back from then, I can't help thinking that, like a lot of others, he stopped too abruptly and the inaction did for him.
