Nah, simply stop visiting you posturing ninny.

Re the humour, it certainly lacks any intelligence, doesn't it?

Age 60+ is an emotional issue. So was the Magna Carta. If the issue was not important, it would not generate such emotion. The 1215 charter committed the King not to punish a freeman unless under the rule of law. Don't imagine King John was too pleased with THAT! He likely would have loved to censor the rabble who was forcing his hand to sign the document. It was, understandably, disrupting his court and Monarchy. It would have been so much easier for him to maintain the status quo.

Changes in the retirement age, motivated by the evolution of societies perceptions, are causing similar disruptions. It would be so much easier to maintain the status quo. Therefore, silence the rabble as they are making things so difficult! Well done PPrune! King John would be PROUD!
