Older members, what do tou get up to?

[Pete999]

As the title suggests, for those of us who have retired, or cut back on their working practices, taking into account drinking smoking and unrelated activities.
Myself I have become a volunteer for Age UK, although nothing much has come my way just yet, I have also expored the possibility of becoming a, wait for it, don't jump down my throat just yet, an Apprentice Smart Meter dual Service fitter, which I await a reply with anticipation, (as Tel would say Age is just a number) I'll keep you all posted, if you are interested.
It would be nice to know if there are any like minded Codgers out there who would like to share their twilight fantasies, Memories, anecdotes they would like to share, I myself have penned an article about my life as an Electrician, for which I am awaiting advice about publication, so if you oldies have some stories please share them on the Forum.

I bought a Mountain Bike, the weekend I retired, to rekindle my MTB'ing days. Road it twice since in 5 years.

Thats Scotland I believe in the UK they need a warrant to enter your property and that seems to be a pre payment meter.

Don't drink much these days... Hardly any really. Last time I had alcohol was xmas day. Bottle of red wine. The time before that was the previous xmas..
I used to drink like a fish, but I can take it or leave it.

God.... who's he??

When you retire you need structure in your life, @Midwest, the weather is getting better get your fat lard arse on to your bike and do some trails I hear there is a great place in Wales for off roading on MTB's I am planning a few rides around the New Forest.

Yep no excuses really. I was quite into mountain biking, about 20 years ago. Done the Ridgeway & places round the Chilterns & Gloucester. Think it might kill me off doing that nowadays!

The only thing that peeved me off, was spending about two hours cleaning & lub'ing the bike afterwards.
