MIA
I was made redundant offered "voluntary" early retirement 3½ years ago. Since I'd have been retired at 63 last month anyway and wouldn't have the money in the bank from the redundancy package, I've now forgiven them (but I haven't forgotten).
Today they celebrated 60 years since they bought Hursley from Vickers, so I went for a nose. Everyone had aged a lot more than I have. Phil wasn't much older at all (or he'd already have gone before) but took a package same time I did.
He looked about ten years older, he's got Parkinson's and he couldn't remember my name. Sad to see him like that, but I've lost weight, health has improved (my knees back, etc seem to be in better nick than my RAC peers') and after meeting Phil, I actually feel younger than I did this morning.
