I've been discussing the pros and cons with Steve on Skype for a while now and currently the biggest pro is I'm only 56 and feel the younger I am the longer I hope I can enjoy it. On the other hand, the con is the fact the wife doesn't have the pension provision I have and will therefore probably work on...now that can easily become a bone of contention so the compromise will be me taking over what we call over here 'househusband duties', only time will tell if that arrangement works out.

But I am a bit more actve now, I do one situp a day. I sit up in bed around 8 AM, look at the alarm clock, realize I don't have to be anywhere or doing anything, then I lay back down! I'm slowly getting back in shape, for what, I have no clue. |
Cheers Eddie.

Your welcome to it mate...to much resentment in the workplace when others find out your already in receipt of a pension and working.

Best of luck and wisdom in your decision.  |
Rgr that....retired from LEO work at 50 IIRC (seems like a lifetime ago). When you start thinking of the scars as trophies tis definitely time to step back and give the youngsters a turn.
