Absolutely, often wonder how Aitch is doing. Jeebers where do the years go. He did pop up on here not too long ago. Happy Birthday Aitch.

And hearty congratulations from me and Sue.

Have a great day.

Trust Bill and Ben to notice this..... ....our two most regular contributors...keep it going boys...

Thanks for the birthday greetings just finished work
I check on here from time to time but still miss the old bus but funds won't allow for another at present maybe when I get to retire only a not her 5 years thanks to HMG putting the age up by a year just before I get there!!!!!

Same here, and Sue has been stung for an extra 6 bloomin' years.

Happy birthday Aitch - long time no see!

Well it is different for us self employed .
I always was going to retire at 50.
My Dad was a civil servant and retired at 55.

I am 64 now.... best laid plans etc.
However if all goes well I should be hanging up the spanners shortly.
Keep yer eyes peeled for a rusty Bongo draggin an old caravan up and down the country ... some time soon.

Have to admit I have been lucky.

I was able to work part time from 50 and retired at 60, although it was rather forced on me. I'm fortunate to have a company pension, not a fortune but don't half help, and I still do odd part time bits.

What really annoys me is even class 1 driving is now little more than minimum wage, 40 years ago, when I started, it was a reasonable living.

I keep getting told, "That's the going rate, but we're desperate for drivers".

Not desperate to pay what's right.
