Good for you. I bet it was nerve wracking.

Fingers crossed for a good outcome.  :y

Good luck with it Alfie. Been there, done that and know how nerve wracking it is.  :y

Looking for a job in "later years" cannot be easy. I'm kind of in that position.

Too young to completely retire and without a fat-cat pension pot, too old to be an ambitious go-getter.

If they give you any grief, just tell them f off, then present your demands, if that doesn't work just keep punching them in the center of the face until they agree, used to work for me all the time until I got tennis elbow.  :y

Now let me guess. You are a social worker, or maybe work for ACAS ?    ;D

Do you have to pay national insurance,stamp etc,after 65.I know that I will pay income tax etc,but are worried what else will they take.My dealings with the IR lately have been not very friendly.

Correct and remember also, if you have a better half who is not using all their tax allowance, you can use some of theirs to minimise your tax outgoings.

I'm going to do a bit of a u turn on my post about being retired, retired yes....but the thing that I miss more than anything, is being around lots of people in the work environment.So although I made a plan to spend this summer doing some work on my house and do the final fettling on the three Omegas and doing some ABS/ VXR meets and shows, I am already thinking that after working for 50+ years I'm starting to think that I've dropped a goolie and I know that if I listen to my ex boss I'll be back working... like tomorrow.So I'm going to try hard and stay retired, but I'm still getting up at 5 a.m 7days a week and can't shake the feeling that I should still be out there  :-\
