Teacher??? Have to smile at that one, I left school with little more than a swimming certificate. I worked in the dyeing industry for 38 years, ending up in a management position, then got the chance of redundancy. I had a very good pay-off, an excellent final salary pension, so decided to go for it. Best decision I ever made, I'm still fighting fit, though you never know what's around the corner. At least I've had 3 years and counting of being able to ignore the alarm clock.
