Daft question probably. I have been retired for 18 months now and I am enjoying it hugely.

But i used to enjoy my job and really enjoyed the banter with the mates. Between age 16 and 60 I don't think I would have retired, even if I had been able to but I think the time was just about right when I knocked it on the head.

I shudder at the thought of having to wake up before 7 on a cold, dark morning and do the commute thing.

I have plenty of interests to keep me busy...and you lot have taken over from my work mates for having long drawn out discussions about stuff that we know little about.

I think most of us have retired so what do you think?
