I was medically retired age 52. Crohns Disease. CAA Medical Branch were not happy about the amount of medication I am on.
Since then, 8 years, I have never been fitter. No more getting up at half past stupid o’ clock. Regular hours, meals etc. It all helps.
Ok, I still have the Crohns, but it is manageable thanks to my new lifestyle.
There has not been a single day that I have woken up & thought, I’m bored. What am I going to do today. It just hasn’t happened.
I have written my autobiography and there is just not enough hours left in the day. Don't know how I fitted work in before.
I would say to anybody if you get the chance of early retirement, go for it.
I do miss my colleagues at work, but I don't miss talking to the kites. We had a great larf.
What I don’t miss also is the inadequate, inept, downright useless excuses we had called Management. Shocking. With one or two exceptions the whole tawdry lot were a disgrace.
