Thats kinda cool, in a scary way... good on him if he was happy being there.... Nothing sadder than someone having to retire cause they're 65...
There was an old boy when I worked in the council that retired, but kept coming in... they had to ban him eventually, because he kept coming in and doing his job because he loved it that much... It was HIS JARD!!!

"and he only ever had one day off"
My old gaffer would have used that as a reason not to give him a pay rise

I dunno.One do'es it and they will expect us all to work till we are 100 with no sick.
Don't tell Blair and Brown as they are looking for a way out of their pensions problem.
