Congratulations Scooter :thumbup:

I only lasted 5 years with the Inland Revenue (as it was then), so to crack up 40 is a real achievement! :respect:

:D

Congrats on such a long career with the same employer! Enjoy your retirement (and the possible part-time job)! :)
By the way, I can't understand why people would possibly be bothered (angry that is) about your former job. After all, it's a job like many others.

Many congratulations Scooter. 40 years is an astonishing achievement. (To put it into perspective, it is several years longer than I have been alive!)

May you enjoy many happy years scootering in retirement. You have deserved it sir!

Well done and congratulations.

40 yrs is unheard of these days. I have issues keeping 19 yrs old for over 40 days now.

What type of part time work are you considering? Perhaps a watch tech... :)
