The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

I think some people get more back from what they put in than others do. I would like to see things happen that make it better for all. Another 5p in the pound tax may help if used honestly and wisely.

Ride finished, had a little shower while i was out, it was a bit windy but job done, going to jump into a nice hot shower, wait for the other half to finish work then of to the pub for a meal and a few beers, the best bit is it's all free, we have had a mate staying with us for a couple of weeks, he is moving on tomorrow so he is treating us to a night in the pub.

Housing benefit and state handouts that's how.......

Which is the very time bomb I’m thinking of.........

I don't think I'd stake my future on the assumption that either of those things will be around in the same form, or at all, in 20 or 30 years time.

Me neither

I’ve akways been a strong believer in this but sadly no political party has the courage and foresight to go there.

Enough of politics. The tree felling is going well. Logging up and stacking after lunch.

Mr WD has heen moving more wood and putting it into a pile to bring over the stream where he will chop it and stack it.

Been to the seaside at Seaham. Wall to wall sunshine but by eck it was chilly. Used my 'do anything' bike. It's a Genesis Racelight T2 with 28mm Marathon+ tyres so it's ok for the road and a bit of rough stuff as long as it's not too muddy. Did 27 miles + 1,300 ft of climbing.

In that case welcome to Great Britain a third world country, we will reap what we sow

The 'Great' in Great Britain refers to the area of the land mass, not it's perceived stature.
