I finished work at 64, after a meltdown while trying to hold on to my marriage with Jennifer the Pilipino I married in 2008 in the Philippines, I was told I had to finish and was therefore sacked, I was gutted, as I had worked for 49 years with a good record, but with the failed marriage nothing mattered.

I was better off financially in that year, and started drawing my pension at 65, and realised they had done me a favour by sacking me, I have never been back there since (except for medical appointments, it was a hospital I worked at).
Mick.
