The Retirement Thread

[The Jogger]

No, we hate them because it means the workies are off and cluttering the place up [/QUOTTE]

I was just thinking along those lines this morning. Yesterday we went to Stanstead House for lunch and it was packed with ankle biters, noisy and we had to queue. Not like a normal working day, although it was the weekend as well I suppose.

We generally stay at home on Bank Holidays and walk or cycle everywhere. Roads and beaches get very busy, and town gets busy if it's wet. The thought of driving on motorways, during busy holiday periods, is not my idea of fun.

I’ve got a bottle of 40 year old Armagnac. I’ve earned a glass today..........

We stay at home in bank holidays. Too many holidaymakers hovering around the area.

Do you retirees still enjoy bank holidays as much as us wage slaves do? Just asking like.....

Roll on Tuesday, hopefully most back at work, the roads will be quiet again.

Not round here. It'll be the end of next week before things settle down. A lot of people make a week of it.

Kids are off school for Easter, but its a fairly quiet village.

That's coz you ain't got one of the best surf beaches in the country on your doorstep.

Pretty quiet around here, most people back at work, the kids are off for the week, but all the mums seem to go to the shopping centres, (they know how to look after them kids in London) The country side is always quiet in the week.

Used to love going to the beaches down there for the surfing in my late teens

The only surfing i do nowadays is on the net.

Me too.
I'll go in the sea once the temperature hits about the low 80s. That's about once every 3 years.

Thank God. Surfers = hippies = communists. The urge to do a daily napalm run in a B52 would be overwhelming.

I know I've asked this before but can't find the thread.....what's the difference between Grockles and Emmets ?

I expect to get some surfing in this year, there again I am not old like you lot. Playing in the surf is great fun, and a wet suit takes care of the slight chill.
