neversaydie Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 After 48 years of hard graft, I've decided to chuck it in and finish at 64. Not quite sure how we're going to manage without income the next 12 months, but something'll turn up I'm sure. Started in 68, at the old iron and steel works at Stanton Ironworks, massive site, around 10,000 worked there at the time, wonderful memories of that place, proper old characters, many of whom saw action 39-45. A few jobs in between, some great fun, some bloody awful. Gonna need to fill my time in the new year 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slice Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I retired in 2000 NSD, I now don't have time to go to work plus my bike takes a lot of fettling during the winter. Do those things you always wanted to do but couldn't find the time to do before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
