    I am genuinely concerned about the future generations ability to have a good standard of living when they get older and retire.[/QUOTE]

    Will they be able to retire?

    To me it sure is but they have more solicitors than us and more money ours. And I did say don't listen to me I am an idiot.

    I retired at 62>in the US I got Social Security and kept the wife working. She retired 2 yrs ago with pension and Social security plus private Healthcare for life.We are living the dream in SW Florida. Feel bad for those not as fortunate and my kids who may not have it so good. The key is keeping busy. My bikes and a boat take care of that. Remember "You don't stop riding because you get old, you get old when you stop riding"

    Five years ogo on 25th Sept (tomorrow, unless it is tomorrow in which case it's today, unless it's the day after, in which case it's yesterday). I went on 25th because that's payday and I thought I'd get a whole month final salary, but the pay month is actually 1st to 1st, so they docked me a few days for leaving part way through the month. Then they docked me a few more because I'd taken too many days holiday that year, leaving part way through the year as I did.

    But then they hired me back as a part-time contractor (it was nice to be wanted) on contractor rates, and I had my best year's income ever without the stress of full time employment. Then the tax man noticed and took a big chunk for himself.

    OOOOHHH ..... tetchy! There's a LOT on this forum that has little to nothing related directly to bikes and/or Triumphs - in actual fact, it's one of the features that makes this forum different AND interesting.

    Nobody is forcing you to read it and, even if you do read it, nobody is forcing you to like or agree with what you're reading.

    Being gratuitously offensive is unnecessay, unwarranted and boorish. I'd suggest you take your own advice before "advising" others. ;)

    Haha, Now that is funny. Fuckface is a thing we started on the local pub, on account that some of the local "availables" are to dangerous to do it to in the conventional way on account of crab like conditions, amongst other things, which are very lobster like so still relevant to this thread
