The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Last day at work today followed by a drink with my then former workmates down the pub.
It's going to be strange after nearly fifty of working and i look forward to it with excitement and some trepidation.
I can't help it(it's my competitive spirit)but i'm already looking to challenge the local strava leaderboard in my new age bracket.

Cheers everyone

I hope you enjoy your last day. It will seem strange for a while like being on holiday in fact, but you will soon get into the swing of things.

I retired on a Friday and the Saturday was really strange. Suddenly all the things I usually had to get done on a Saturday could wait till the next day - if I wanted. It took me till about 3.00pm to do anything constructive.

By the Monday morning I’d forgotten about work almost completely. It was over a year before I really thought about it again.

You’ll be fine.

I retired on a Friday. By the time I'd ridden the 6 miles home I'd completely lost the work ethic.

Just about to start a very intensive rehydration period, on a downside the wheel on the car is way to bent to straighten.

How insulting - to be compared to someone from the wrong side of the Pennines.

Red Rose County, where'd you think it was filmed/set?

I thought it was filmed/set in Holmfirth, which last time I looked was on the right side of the pennines for me and the wrong side for @PaulSB.

Gonna cut the grass tomorrow.

That’s right.

@PaulSB is on the wrong side o'Pennines.

Yes, he is. I was being a bit tongue in cheek!

We had a geography lesson at primary school once in Yorkshire in the late 1960s. The teacher pointed to a map of the north of England and said 'You live in the biggest county in England [and the best]'. Then she pointed to the west and said 'And that's Lancashire' in a sneering sort of voice. The Wars of the Roses perpetuated in three words!

Congratulations, @The Central Scrutinizer

You only had one geography lesson in school, and all they taught you is where Lancashire was?

Yep, definitely the case in primary school!
