Old boys feeling the need to go

[cliffed]

Is it just me,the older you get,you see so much crap in this business.
You try to help & they..don’t wanna know.
Even basic workmanship just goes flying out the window ,I really could go on,but it’s Grand National day on the beer @ 12.00 till I’ve had enough.

40 years a spark and I've had enough of it as well, but there's probably just as much crap on the other side of the fence, different crap but still crap. Just try and keep the crap clear of the fan.

Unfortunately the good days are long gone

At least we can all look forward to retirement in the coming years

what is this "retirement"?. state pension only pays for essentials like smokes and bar bill. for luxuries like food and bills, i need to keep working. still, only 72, might pack in at 75 if legs and back don't want to carry on. .

Never met anyone in any industry that hasn’t had enough of something after a life time doing it....

Agree,but what we were taught,these youngsters are not either taught it,or can’t be bothered,to do it.
Also all our years of experience they seem to know better & just ignore you,we ain’t their Mum & Dad ,just listen pillock

Bit of both I think.....no one wants to take responsibility for anything anymore

I’m relying on down sizing to provide us a half decent retirement

The state pension will be all but worthless by the time I sling it all in
