Retirement not gonna happen for me. Was unlucky enough to fall in love with Mrs Pup at age 40. She's a Londoner so moved to take out London mortgage at £££ per brick on 30 year basis at age 42! So working til 72 which let's face it, in education I ain't gonna last that long!

Adventure before dementia would be my suggestion.

I,m not there yet.....I mean retirement not dementia

A guaranteed vote loser, in these times of tight majorities I cannot see any party having any great desire to carry it through.

Beware the power of the silver haired voter.
