Well if you do then be sure to bring a flask and some sandwiches because you will no doubt be in a very long queue.

I just think ive hit a few nerves thats all.
Everything I've said since j joined as been met equal like and dislike, I've only said what is true but it would seem that some members can't handle the truth.

To whom are you directing this comment to Starjack?

Old enough

Why have you suddenly gone all shy, you can't be over 50 or you would have a yellow trainee badge.

It was in reply to Telectrix comment above mine, but it's for anyone and everyone really, yes I may be a bit blunt at times but that's how I've got to my level at my age.
I will be retired by 50 with a fat bank account that I've earned.

And what level would that be, if I maybe so bold? Crikey under 50, I could be your Dad, nah don't bear thinking about.

And a pair of shoes to celebrate every one of those years - you really should draw those curtains!

Well happy birthday firstly.
Are you now retired and enjoying your money.

Is there anyone on here that's not 50, apart from me.
I run my own business, I am fully qualified and employ 17 full time electricians.
They range from 20 - 45 but the ones at 45 have been electricians all their life. I even employed a midget for a " short " period.
He had to go though once the new socket heights came in plus he was no use for mashing as the worktop was to high for him. I did actually like him but you have to cut away dead wood, no sentiment allowed when running a multi- million pound business.
Oh and sorry to hear your very nearly 50.

If I worked for you you'd be lucky to reach 50 fella.

You've got an ugly wife, haven't you. That's usually the main reason men don't retire when they can.
