The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

Found it. Unfortunately I am standing in front of the primus stove on its hanger. No date for it but around
1960ish probably. Note also the SYHA badge on the shorts. On reflection it may have been mid 1950s. View attachment 558119

As an add on this pic shows the primus in travelling mode. My wife seems to have the carradice.

I have a white board and I write things down that I need as I need them. Then I take a photo of it on my phone and use that when I go shopping

I always take a list and forget to take it out of my pocket if it is not left in the car.

I just rely on memory and forget things!

I just let my wife do the shopping, she knows best and I can't get told off for forgetting something.

Pam just buys as much as she can get in the trolley at each shop.

Mrs P has moved G&T time forward. Yesterday it was 5.00pm, today 5.20pm........I'm not sure if I'm confused or p****d 😄

That'd be moving back, not forward.
I think you may have had possibly one two many.

I normally do the shopping.
Pencil and paper are my to go to implements to make the list.
Then it goes onto the stores website to be either collected or delivered.
If I am going to the local shops it is written on a bit of paper

Cheque?

I haven't written one for years.

I write things down to remind me what I need usually mundane things like bike bits. Then cant remember where I put the list.

A few weeks ago I brought some new brake blocks, came to fit one set on Friday, could i remember where I'd put them? No, it took me a quarter of an hour to find them.

I found a charming short film on YouTube about 'Mr. Overton', at the time America's oldest living WWII veteran. If you are in your 60s/70s/80s and feel a bit past it, take a look at this old fella, aged 109...!
