Hi Simon
You must have been a good employee (or were they glad to get rid of you
). Congrats on your retirement?.
When I left work 20 years ago after 25 years they gave me a party, The standard aerial picture of the place (not a gold watch and chain), a golf bag and accessories.
In my retirement speech I made the mistake of volunteering for some part time work(big mistake). They took me up on that so I worked part time for another two years.
Then I got another leaving party and more golf accessories
I also got called back for a couple of three month periods on contract work. That was good money!
