plastering is easy money, you know that !

How come you carry on after 65? You enjoying it or just want to stay away from your Mrs at home? Either way good going 68 and still plastering, when I turn 68 I'll be 6ft deep for 15 years already

i am self employed so at 65 ,as we have a large customer base so i just carried on working, my wife who is a nurse did retire once but they asked her to return to work as they are so short of staff.

you will never retire as long as there are women on this planet, as they always want something done.

I never want to retire either, first nail in the coffin.

Only met a couple of older chaps who have walked away from this trade. Mostly through health. They miss it like mad. Pick my brains with, "what's new in the trade" I always say, apart from the mixer, it's still the same.

I worked for a lady whose parent just celebrated 60 years marriage, when he was asked the secret of a good marriage his reply was "yes dear."
