When I worked for a privatised utility company my working hours initially decreased to 37 hour a week but my terms and conditions altered ( not in my favour) . My job involved climbing and working at heights in all weather conditions and after 30 + years I knew I couldn't continue without it having a adverse effect on my health, this has now become a reality with collapsed L4 & 5 discs , rheumatoid arthritis in my right hand , left elbow and right knee , I was fortunate 11 years ago to obtain voluntary redundancy , not enough for me to finish work but enough to pay off my mortgage . (one of the terms and conditions of taking the redundancy money was that I could not make a claim for any physical deterioration which may arose due to my job activities )
I then managed to get another job with many transferable skills but with less of the physical requirements although it was still at times demanding , which anyone working offshore will attest to , but due to the issue with cancer I decided to finish work altogether after 11 years so I'm now officially retired , a lucky one in a sea of many who as already stated , will have to struggle on just to survive .I have 3 sons two of which despite my nagging are living for the day with no thought for the future and I despair at the thought that by the time they're old enough to retire they wont be able to afford to. |

Whether you agree or disagree with his political view or not , he has the same right to be shown the same courtesy as the other party leaders ,. It's becoming a worrying trend that the BBC along with Sky are regularly being shown up for their left wing bias . |

I always find it ironic that thousands who attend are quite likely those of an environmental bent and yet are quite happy to leave tons of non and recycle waste. Other than than I did like Coldplay's earlier stuff but imo now same old same old |

If you want to update your list , In the current state of UK politics I have no particular bent towards any political party , to be clear they're all inept . |

You'd like to think despite all the shenanigans from all political party's someone will have the intelligence to realise the importance of producing pur own steel, they're wasting billions on a train set which will benefit who exactly ( I wonder where the steel is coming from to build it), Not simple I know but buy it off tata ,this should then secure many jobs and allow the country actually ptifuce something substantial |

Sorry to hear that Max , I'm a firm believer that the weather affects many physical conditions , I struggle when its cold and damp, no comfort to you I know and even less when I say that since 2016 the UK government has given India ยฃ2.3 billion in aid , I wonder when that will be reciprocated because its going to be needed. |
