When I school it was expected that the retirement age would begin a t 55 , so as to free up employment for the younger generation. Now with that magical number approaching in days , I look back and think of now. Not that I ever expected to get this far , 30 then 40 were bad enough, and beyond not likely due to silly mis adventures. With years of uninspiring drudgery to go , it really makes me feel old less enthused for the next day. So I guess I am an old fart💀

Per the PM, I have to go down tomorrow, to enquire for my son, who is in the same position as you. I will pass on any info. Remember, the only way is up.
