You can say what you like about me,but I was always in work right up till the age of 67,then only stoped because of my legs,as you older once will know it was bad in the 1980s and when the railways work shops closed at Ashford,I left on the Friday and was working in Germany on the Monday at 0600hrs.
It is hard for the young ones today and the older ones, but I say look the part and keep trying trying and even more trying,When I was working in France I was a acting forman on the site,One day a young man came in our gate on a bike ,he was English ,he aske me for a job,"I said where have you just come from to get this job,"?
"I have come on my bike with my tent from Cornwall in the UK"
I told him say no more you have the job,"I am not skilled? I do not care, if you can get here from Cornwall on a old bike just for work you the man I am looking for. He stay with me till the end of the job still living in his tent.But he had his bike taken onenight outside the tent.But it was replaced.
