If only the days when one could work 40 hours week would return in limey ville England .
Up north the majority of jobs at the lower end of the pay scale are now all agency eight hours work over seven days as and when required .
But one has to turn up evey day at eight am sharp tobe sent home if your lucky you may get two/three hours work a week .
But £35-£40 in bus fares every week for £24 weekly earnings aint economically viable for any individual.
If you would have told me in 1982 at the age of seventeen that i would be retired at fifty i would of laughed.
Now im fifty three and ive come full circle ive come to terms with being one of yesterdays men me and retirement are buddies of sorts.
So how do you spend your time i listen to the back catalogue of Big Country and play that new Simulation game thats the envy of the civilized world Wolfpack.
I also go to a community craft center in Durham that has a woodwork shop i go every Monday and touch base with other people young and old and we all take
a interest in what everyones doing.
also making new clients feel welcome and help them gain confidence get their mojo back so to speak.
The human soul isn't good in isolation wallowing in selfpity won't do you any good

The workers are revolting Bolsheviks no its true
