    Good on her. Love my job like the world but don't think I'll be going for that long!

    Very exceptional, my reflexes are much slower at 62 than they were even 10 years ago. In fact I now tend to crawl along in the M4 slow lane behind the trucks rather than overtaking at 69.999 MPH in the middle or outside lane. By the time I’m 72 chances are I’ll be one of those 40 MPH A Road zombies. 82, well if I’m still around be using my OAP bus pass!

    By your profile name OldVern I thought you were old - and now I find out you're a year younger than me!

    63 next month... Still got three or four years (depending on when the state pension age goes up again) to get my bus pass, living in England rather than Scotland or Wales!

    Ah you guys are just spring chickens. I turned 77 last month, just renewed my driver's license for another 4 years. No problems. Still passing those old folks on the expressway. Not slowing down anytime soon.
