God! My family will have to put up with me for another 39 years...

Fascinating statistics - and does put paid to the post-institutionalised death rates that are oft suggested. What would be interesting to see is the scatter plot of deaths after retirement. There may be an initial cluster of deaths post Service...but I am surprised that an average figure is used (and sensistive to extremes) rather than a median. Do you have a link to these FAQs?
