The sarcastic quotes of the OP are uncalled for. He has worked bloody hard for this country, and by God he richly deserves his retirement. I wish him well, as would most reasonable thinking people.

My dad, a naval man, wasn't a fan.
"I knew him when he was a two-ringer, the f******g scruffy b*****d couldn't be a***d to polish his shoes..."
I don't know what a "two-ringer" is, I'm afraid, and I can't ask my dad unless someone has Psychic Sally's phone number.

Rumours were flying round that he was dead at first, and The S*n and The Heil got a bit premature. The resulting coverage was probably partly down to them trying to cover themselves up.
Plus, there was no election coverage, by law.

Apparently there are still people willing to work long after retirement.
