Gas you really are starting to sound quite silly now
How about joining at 16, serving to age 55 then leaving with an index linked pension that will always be more than sufficient to mean both Mrs SFFP and I can retire and never work again

.............now about that job for life you say no longer exists
Oh and there are plenty of guys approaching 40 who will be offered the same terms of service that I have so there are lots more "jobs for life" still to come
As I said ........advice.........research before posting you twit
