Retiring

[ATTAK Z]

Not from here but from work ... I'm almost 72 so thought it was time for a rest ... I'll probably do bits of design (construction) as long as I can but I don't enjoy the project management side of things nor the 9 to 5 anymore so it's time to go

[teejay]

all the best in what you decide to do enjoy

[Ekona]

Good for you Hugh, I definitely reckon you’ve earned a rest  

[andy james]

Good for you Hugh. Thinking you need a project car to fill all the surplus time you now have. 

[ATTAK Z]

I'd love a one of these

 

[Keyser]

Have fun with whatever comes next mate

[Stutopia]

Whats taken you so long???

 

I retire from IT at the end of November, 2 weeks before my 39th birthday Absolutely agree with not being able to do 9-5 anymore.........

 

CONGRATS!!!

72?!!!! wow. Hopefully I can retire before I reach that age, but at the moment with the wife & kids spending money like its going out of fashion its looking unlikely. Ive not even got a proper pension lined up yet. Argh!

 

Enjoy the spare time!

[Kev T]

Good for you, i retired late last year and it's the best decision i have ever made, no more dancing to someone elses tune or an increasingly nightmare commute.

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Congrats and enjoy, Sir Hugh

I'd smash it until it fell off. Front doors, back doors, side gate, the lot.

You're a very dirty boy ... but I like you

 

 

 

 

PS

Where's the side gate ?

[Ekona]

Wherever else she'll let me put it

I retired just before my 54th birthday. The company I worked for made me a good offer so I took the chance while it was there. During my time there I saw several guys that I worked with that had the option to retire early on full pension (at 62) with the company making up the state pension for 3 years! Quite a few of those who turned down the offer never made it to 65 and that swayed my decision to go while I had the opportunity.
