Kills me how judges and politicians can work on until their 70s and 80s and still be earning. That is physically not possible if you have have grafted hard all your life. I have no doubt the painful arthrits I get in my neck was caused by work. You should get your pension earlier if your body is giving out on you. How many roofers, brickies, plasterers are still working on the tools in their sixties? t's not possible. 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those who have made the decisions to raise the state pension age do not give a monkey's about those in physically demanding job's. Retirement age for an underground worker with the NCB was sixty and most of the lads who i know who had worked for 35 year's in the steelworks retired before 60 on good pensions it seems we are going backwards in this country regarding retirement and pensions. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its not their physical state that worries me. These are people who have never experienced real life and have lived in a different world to the people they are presiding over.

I do and i know a few others who do also , i would not go in the Footings or touch a concrete block but i am often in demand for setting out or building Chimneys because modern bricklayers dont do them , also i think is a lot easier than when i started in the early 60s.
