Maxy101 and MPH, you both make very valid points, and I agree with them.

As I said, we have been very lucky, not just with the pension provision, but also with the small income we derive from savings, and the few investments we have made over the years.

There are many who have not been as fortunate, and provided they meet the medical, and skill criteria, they should be allowed to continue working. And, as Maxy101 said, because of changing conditions the younger ones will probably need to continue working for longer.

However, ONLY for those in a similar situation to ourselves, I would strongly recommend storing the working clothes. Hopefully it might also create some vacancies, and further, allow the younger people to get on the pension ladder sooner.

You can't take it with you!
