[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't think the retirement age relates to just men......I think that they are hoping to make women work until 67 too.......so that is an extra seven years.
The jobs where you can sit on your BTM...well, it may just be possible to continue until 67......I retired at 55 from nursing and I can tell you... it is a physical job and one that is stressful.....I would also ask you whether you would be happy with some 67 yr old arthritic nurse looking after you when you have just had a heart attack? Talk about dying in harness.

I would also like to say that over the years I have worked and contributed to my pension.....nobody is GIVING me anything......I EARNED the bloody thing...and I am still paying tax to keep the idle workshy in wide screen TV's and PSP2's.
