It really was a strange week for you. I hope your foot problem is resolved soon. Do you need follow up surgery/treatment? It must be really weird for you, not having to think about a job you have done for so long. It was strange enough for me when I was made redundant in 99 after 10 years in a job, and left with nothing but free time for a while. 25 years in a job is a long time, and it becomes part of who you are.
You posted three great successes this morning. Your Pete Best and Ray Wilson cards have been signed really nicely and look brilliant. The Jaap Stam cards are nice also.
I hope you enjoy your free time. Any plans for what you may get up to?

Hi Alan,
You take it easy mate..I did almost 25 years in my last job before being made redundant, It's like part of your life has been taken away..enjoy the free time as you never know when it's youe turn for "UpStairs" mate.
We'll meet again someday...some sunny day...dont know where............at a footy match down south I hope. Enjoy the retirement, go for long walks with a sack on yer back.

Some great replies posted today, Alan. Hope you are feeling better after your op. It must be strange not to have to go into work after the same routine for such a long time but, I'm sure you'll find plenty to do. Most retired people I talk to are busier than when they worked.

hope you are up and about soon mate and make sure you enjoy your retirement

Great result and im sure now you are a man of leisure there will be plenty of results being shipped out!

Hope the operations gone well and you're sorted out with a job when you're well.
I've been 30 years with the same employer so who knows how I'll feel when I eventually leave there!

Hope the foot recovers and enjoy retirement ! 25 years is a long time and I'll bet you never got thanked for your service by senior management.
