I was 60 when I retired. After 40 years of grafting and saving, I stopped being a teacher in a posh school where the headmaster was a fascist dictator, and the staff were all lefty pc wakners. I saved enough to retire and 7 years later wild horses wouldn't get me anywhere near a classroom again. Even in a posh school the kids were appallingly behaved.
Here, here. I left for the same reasons two years ago. I’m now 60 but Unfortunately I can’t afford to live without an income. I’m now doing full time repair/maintenance in a large hotel. It’s a bit too physical but I chose it over the mental stress of continuing working within education.
I’ve hit fifty, 23 years in the Army and a further 10 on the tools my body is pretty much done. All these people who say you can work until your in your seventies have never done a manual days work in their life.
true i served, then worked on the building humping bricks cement etc in all weathers.never been idle .i left school on a friday my dad took me out and got me a job on the monday. i'm 66 now just retired and i think i have fkn earned the right to sit on my arse or go fishing.i cant walk more than fifty yds now i am knackered. mebe had i had a cushy job i could work for longer and felt healthier.
People who have not reached retirement age are hardly able to judge whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Your outlook can change completely by the time retirement age arrives!
sure, let's allow those who want to come back . It could be great for some to work two days a week , if they want to , if they can , if they're the kind of people who enjoy working. What I can't stand is that lady deciding that all 79 years old people should work because she feels great at 49 , she's a hypocrite and an exploiter.
So should fireman and miners and bricklayers carry on until they're 68? Get a grip I notice it's ppl who don't work very hard saying they should carry on.
By the time workers mainly manual workers (this includes skilled tradesmen )get past 60* they are physically broken and in some cases mentally broken as well .For those not in a manual job such as "in the office workers" beloved of the media there could be a case made, but even those people cannot always keep going after 65.without health problems really hitting them.
Absolutely spot on, Iam a Engineer 68 years old and Still working, I cannot physically do the manual side of the job, So I managed to get a non physical job in the same company, The Management and so called workmates don't like it, But I say to them one day you may get to my age and if you do you will think different.
Sorry to hear that, and I'm with you about the youth of today, unfortunately they've been brought up on all the reality TV shows that make nobody's into celebrities and haven't got a clue about the real world. Plus they all think there entitled nowadays....boils my piss
@@andrewcoxhead6451 It's always bemusing when yesterday's generation calls us entitled coming from the land of earlier retirement ages, cheap housing relative to wages, free university education, a health service that actually worked, a sense of national identity and purpose, the post-war consensus and social system (before its dismantlement and piecemeal sell-off via privatisation) Most of the older generation will give it large about how they had frost on the inside of their windows and lived inside of the old woman's shoe whilst the bombs were raining from the sky (despite the fact they were all born after the war that we still bang on about every week in this country) - but do they ever stop to ask themselves why young people are so despondent when wearing the poverty of yesterday as some kind of badge of honour? Is it so wrong that us young people aspire for a better world than that? It is your generation after all that still clung onto dying concepts like homophobia and xenophobia. Assuming you are indeed of the "boomer" class, you are, in my book, people who are almost deserving of pity for having had such a sad and angry view of the world. As a 28 year old who has indeed only ever worked since dropping out of college at 18, has never had debt (save for the mortgage) as I am fortunate enough to have also managed to buy my own house without any help whatsoever; I contest your broad brush approach that we're all lazy social media induced idiots who want to be celebrities. Many of us are hard workers, but recognise that the middle ground and ability to achieve has withered away under successive governments of all colours. Most of us simply want to be recognised as fellow human beings who want to drive the world into a better place, and that the older generation continues to fail us on this account. When not working full time I am also driving forwards a company I have built from scratch and funded with my own savings, and this company is under endless assault from the current economic climate and dreadful lack of consumer confidence. By definition I am a textbook capitalist, and yet capitalism doesn't feel like it's working out very well for me as an aspiring young businessman. The Greatest Generation who fought WW2 command the greatest of respect - but in my opinion, their children that came after are nasty, spiteful and myopic people and indeed the most self entitled of the lot. The post war generation have enjoyed the greatest accumulation of wealth in human history and have sucked the guts out of the social system with there being little left on the bone these days. They act like they fought for the moral compass of the 20th century, when in reality they've just got fat off of the product of the previous generation's sacrifice. Us young people didn't ask to be born into an interconnected world of the internet and mobile phones or into a country of excessively staunch capitalism and dog-eat-dog culture of individualism. We don't think we're entitled to anything beyond the not unreasonable expectation that we might be presented with the same opportunities as the generation that came before us. Instead, all the empirical evidence points towards us millennials and the generation Z's coming up under us as being the first generation in modern history to have it worse than the ones that came before us. What is it you perceive we think we are entitled to, beyond a fair chance at making our way in the world? You're leaving us with a world of broken social systems, broken ecological systems and the zenith of greed based politics and false ideology of exponential growth with GDP still being considered the principle measure of success as opposed to education, welfare and wellbeing. We are not the ones who pursued aggressive de-regulation or buried our heads in the sand over climate change and out of control population growth. As the question of our time turns to survival and sustainability on this finite world of ours, the politics and ideologies of your days are fast being revealed as a busted flush that will be consigned to the historical dustbin as just another phase of human evolution. Maybe instead of pointing the finger at us young people who haven't even had a chance to live yet, in the material sense, you should perhaps hold a mirror up to the supposed achievements of your generation? Once you discount selling off the family silver that your parents left the world, what exactly have your lot done for the planet? If us young people are not equipped with the skills to handle the world as we enter into it - whose fault is that exactly? We're a product of the systems you built for us, of the education you gave us and the values you taught us. We've looked at the "real world" as you call it; and have found it wanting. Whilst I pursue my own ambitions, I fully understand why all of my friends have retreated into the internet and a fantasy world of TV, movies and games. It's because we are all unified in feeling we've been born into a dying world that is beyond salvation; the despondency of youth is the result of what your generation has created during its time on Earth. You can either accept the responsibility of your cultural values leading to the youth of today, or reject it, but your generation will not be remembered for great achievements, but rather lamentable decline. I try to keep the torch alive for my friends that hard work will pay off in the end, but it's yet to really translate into a tangible return beyond the average. Is it because I am simply not working hard enough, or possessing the right values, or is it because the system we live in is failing all around us? It doesn't have to be this way, but we're still yet to crowbar out the last of yesterday's news that are still clinging on to some fantasy imperial vision of Britain that frankly, never existed anyway. I'll be making sure my grandchildren know that it was the greed of the latter 20th century people that sowed the seeds for the challenges of the 22nd century that they're going to have to endure. Have a good day. Yours, A young and avid follower of GB News, "Brexiteer" and rejecter of "boomer" ideology.
I worked full time (and more) until I was 68 years old, and I knew by then that if I didn't retire soon, the stress would kill me, so I retired and I feel more alive now than at anytime in my last 10-15 years.

You clearly know nothing about Pete Waterman. In his latter years, he has worked with antique railway engines, including on the tools and being a driver and a fireman. It's a hobby but entails more hard work than most so-called manual jobs. To suggest that he knows nothing about manual labour is a complete joke.
Millionaires telling ppl to go back to work, PPL who retired worked hard for their pension they are not getting if free. and where are all the jobs coming from if ppl come out of retirement ? Its ok for waterman he's worth about 100 million he can chose to work or not many don't have that luxury.
If i went back to my job I would probably create so much friction with the new short term style of management who dont understand what they manage that i wouldnt last long anyway before being asked to leave.
It's all very nice to these people, I am in my 70s, no way could I go back to work as an electrician, on my hands and knees under floor boards in lofts. No. These people have no idea.
My husband has a doctorate, worked to senior management. He was made redundant and at 59, is finding it impossible to even get an interview anywhere. He’s too qualified for many jobs, and people have commented he’s too qualified. Ageism is a real thing!
I'm 77, a retired company director and I am still working. I love the interraction with other people and the sense of purpose in life that it gives me. That said, when I went looking for a fairly ordinary retirement job, I encountered blatant ageism in most of the places where I applied, including Amazon, B&Q and others, even though it's illegal. Problem is that it's very difficult to prove so you just have to suck it up and move on. It's disgusting.
Some people like Pete enjoy work, if you enjoy work it isn’t work it’s more of a paid hobby and good luck to them. Most people, myself included go to work as it is necessary to pay for houses food etc etc and support a family. Given the choice I would prefer to not work and live comfortably, who wouldn’t. I’m not sure of the unemployment situation at the moment, but surely they should be given priority of a job rather than someone who has worked all their lives and retired. The world’s going crazy
Six years ago I was made redundant after working forty years. As soon as I left my job the job centre of whatever it is called these days were on my case straight away to Get another job which I did, but it was nothing to do with them. It just shows those who have worked all there lives are always expected to work for ever while those who never have are left alone.

I now more young people unwilling to work than old. Average life expectancy is 81, retirement age is 66. That's 15 years rest for 46 years work. Leave the people alone and focus on the youth. And I'm sorry but miss pink shirt hasn't worked a physically demanding job in her life.
Depends how you work…a grafter is physically, pretty broken, by the time they get to 60. No one in this video have ever been grafters! They also get paid quite nicely for little physical toil!
A recent drive for employment saw over 1000 job apps and only 3 responses, all rejections. Show me a company that wants to employ over 50's aside from filling shelfs in super markets or delivering groceries. Even state run employers like NHS, Borough Councils etc want you gone as soon as your 60. Not that I would ever contemplate unretirement,
Carpenter an old time craftsman until 50. Then teaching idiots and wasters in FEcolleges for past 10 years. The stress I experienced from people within the whole of education. Their physical incompetents and lazy mentality towards real productive work. Ive never not worked, I can’t afford to stop now so Im back to physical carpentry at 60.
Shit, I retired from my first career after 25 yrs in uniform. A few of yrs taking grad classes and then started on a different career path. Retired for the 2nd time. Why should I deprive some younger person a chance to move up, by taking a job I don't need or want? As for Waterman, that's hardly a 'job' more like a hobby that pays way too bloody much. Does he want retired brickies, painters, carpenters, garbage men ( yes MEN, never seen a woman wanting that job) to go back and work after decades of hard graft. It's not pushing a few buttons on a console and having 3 hrs lunches.
You can just see the thinking now from the Government.. Yeah!!.. that's not a bad idea let's get them back to work more Tax for us to waste!!🤔 Wait a minute if there fit enough to work let's raise the retirement age to 80+!! that's it work till you Peg Out the perfect Scenario no Benefits no Burden to society Wait a minute thinking about it they've been doing that for years..
The Narinder woman is shouting with anger. I am 82 and would willingly return to work for at least 2 or 3 days a week. No one can force you to go back after retirement. I am bored, until a friend is available for a chat and a drink.
I started work at the age of 55 years and carried on until 75 I will go back to work next year once my health issue has been sorted . However,one should not be pressuried into work. It should he flexible.
Typical American, all for continued work despite being in your senior years in life. We don’t want to follow their example. The amount of annual leave, maternity leave, sick pay, is abysmal over there. No thanks.
Jog on I did manual work & it got a lot tougher after 60! I had 52 years at work thats more than enough, I love it when they say stuff like 60 is the new 50, like hell it is! Yes back to work for a penny appney wages, I can't wait!
I feel slightly sorry for people who reach retirement age and have nothing they want to do outside of work. I had a very interesting career and enjoyed work (partly because I made my main hobby into my job anyway). However, I have a huge list of other things I want to do that I have no chance of getting through inside the time I can possibly have left. I worked till 67 and was somewhat pushed into retirement by the lockdown. Covid also made me wonder if delaying retirement was quite such a good idea. Even if you are extremely fit you might just have less time than you think. Anyway, we have a smallholding that is seriously hard work but allows us to do the "Good Life" thing which is a refreshing change.
ha ha best laugh I've in ages. what a set of dunces. "I'm 73 and love my job" what job getting paid for being a celebrity. wonder if he would do min wage job on the check out instead. another middle class idea. to make the poor poorer. leave the retirees alone and get those who can work but won't working for living.
Narinder talking sense, I never who'd have thought,,got to congratulate her on this one, im sure there are many people like me, worked and payed taxes most of their adult life, but forced to retire early because of health issues, and too many young people abusing the system, It's the young people who need to get off their arses ,I've lied most of my life about my health to get work nowadays the opposite seems to be all too common with youngsters who have learnt how to play the system
Interesting comparing behaviours. Narinder needs to calm down. Insulting others, rubbishing alternative perspectives and being so agitated and intolerant just alienates everyone else, weakens your own argument and ultimately almost makes you a figure of fun.
Who retires at 50??? Not a factory worker. You'd have to be pretty successful and have earned a lot of money to put in a pension. We haveninvested enough in training our own , we have relied on importing workers. Also we spend an inordinate amount of money on illegal migration and foreign aid. I'm 57 can't get my state pension until I'm 68 (and that will probably go up). You want me to work another ??????? to fund what??? Our economy has been wrecked since the crash of 2008, 14 years later and no sign of light at the end of the tunnel. I'd work more and longer if I thought it would benefit my family and my community. But at the moment we have the greatest tax burden in my working life (and it's going to get worse before getting better). Politicians are well insulated against this crisis £80,000 plus a year, second homes they get to keep and 'allowances up to what? £200,000 and more. No,,,,, I'd want a few years of family and no work before I die.
Yes I fancy being a talking head on a broadcast channel, seems easier than manual working 10 hours a day in the burning sun. Though James No'Brain on LBC begs to differ.
My Dad is past retirement age but he still works because as he said himself "What would I do otherwise?" Golfing and Bingo sessions at a care home can tend to get boring lol. 40+ years building houses and he's good at it so work can also be a good validator for your life. What could be good is if those now retired people pass on their skills to the mostly clueless in society today. I'd guess a much smaller percentage of the country today could build a house from the ground up and it's a skill we are all going to need to retain.
I was happy working untill they brought out IR35 now I just claim what I can instead of working and giving most of it to the tax man If your happy working keep working

Problem is that it's very difficult to prove so you just have to suck it up and move on. It's disgusting.
Some people like Pete enjoy work, if you enjoy work it isn’t work it’s more of a paid hobby and good luck to them. Most people, myself included go to work as it is necessary to pay for houses food etc etc and support a family. Given the choice I would prefer to not work and live comfortably, who wouldn’t. I’m not sure of the unemployment situation at the moment, but surely they should be given priority of a job rather than someone who has worked all their lives and retired. The world’s going crazy
Six years ago I was made redundant after working forty years. As soon as I left my job the job centre of whatever it is called these days were on my case straight away to Get another job which I did, but it was nothing to do with them. It just shows those who have worked all there lives are always expected to work for ever while those who never have are left alone.
Who retires at 50? What dream world are these people living in....
If you hit retirement age then you've earned retirement.
i dont know anyone whos retired at 50, i thought state pension age is 65/67
I did, that's when my employers pension began. It's what I had always planned to do, emphasis on the planned !
@@jjefferyworboys8138 i have employers /private pension it till im 59 doesnt mean i retire then, but i believe you as it must of been a very good job and pension, but doesnt represent most people who retire and as i said ,as im 53, i can still stand by what i said i dont know anyone whos retired at 50
I now more young people unwilling to work than old. Average life expectancy is 81, retirement age is 66. That's 15 years rest for 46 years work. Leave the people alone and focus on the youth. And I'm sorry but miss pink shirt hasn't worked a physically demanding job in her life.
I worked 12hrs a day shift work as well. I'm now retired. I will not be going back to work.
I don’t call what you do work waterman 🇬🇧
he should be so lucky 🤣 lucky lucky lucky
That's the very best type of work to have.
Retirement is 67!
After 50 years in the construction industry my body is not capable of going back to work.
Pete Waterman and the former MP , who took cash for questions, enjoy their work and its not taxing on their body like lots of other jobs.
Depends how you work…a grafter is physically, pretty broken, by the time they get to 60.
No one in this video have ever been grafters! They also get paid quite nicely for little physical toil!
A recent drive for employment saw over 1000 job apps and only 3 responses, all rejections. Show me a company that wants to employ over 50's aside from filling shelfs in super markets or delivering groceries. Even state run employers like NHS, Borough Councils etc want you gone as soon as your 60. Not that I would ever contemplate unretirement,
Carpenter an old time craftsman until 50. Then teaching idiots and wasters in FEcolleges for past 10 years. The stress I experienced from people within the whole of education. Their physical incompetents and lazy mentality towards real productive work. Ive never not worked, I can’t afford to stop now so Im back to physical carpentry at 60.
Shit, I retired from my first career after 25 yrs in uniform. A few of yrs taking grad classes and then started on a different career path. Retired for the 2nd time. Why should I deprive some younger person a chance to move up, by taking a job I don't need or want?
As for Waterman, that's hardly a 'job' more like a hobby that pays way too bloody much. Does he want retired brickies, painters, carpenters, garbage men ( yes MEN, never seen a woman wanting that job) to go back and work after decades of hard graft. It's not pushing a few buttons on a console and having 3 hrs lunches.
Nothings mentioned about the lazy unemployed! Get them back to work by stopping their benefit’s.
Waterman has inflicted untold damage on my ears for years. Jog on
You can just see the thinking now from the Government.. Yeah!!.. that's not a bad idea let's get them back to work more Tax for us to waste!!🤔 Wait a minute if there fit enough to work let's raise the retirement age to 80+!! that's it work till you Peg Out the perfect Scenario no Benefits no Burden to society Wait a minute thinking about it they've been doing that for years..
Why are there staff shortages? And where?
The Narinder woman is shouting with anger. I am 82 and would willingly return to work
for at least 2 or 3 days a week. No one can force you to go back after retirement.
I am bored, until a friend is available for a chat and a drink.
Pete Waterman was from a working-class background. He'd DJ'd a good few nightclubs on Coventry back in the day before he hit it big.
I started work at the age of 55 years and carried on until 75
I will go back to work next year once my health issue has been sorted .
However,one should not be pressuried into work.
It should he flexible.
I work in the Timber Trade it's a lot of lifting.If you keep yourself fit and healthy,And you want to carry on working why not.
"Broadcaster?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Low eye queue, big brother clown" you mean? Can we have some British womens opinions?
Typical American, all for continued work despite being in your senior years in life. We don’t want to follow their example. The amount of annual leave, maternity leave, sick pay, is abysmal over there. No thanks.
Almost every one in my team at work who retires come back to work … usually for 2 options: they have to financially, or they’re bored at home!
Jog on I did manual work & it got a lot tougher after 60! I had 52 years at work thats more than enough, I love it when they say stuff like 60 is the new 50, like hell it is!
Yes back to work for a penny appney wages, I can't wait!
It seriously depends what line of work you are in
I feel slightly sorry for people who reach retirement age and have nothing they want to do outside of work. I had a very interesting career and enjoyed work (partly because I made my main hobby into my job anyway). However, I have a huge list of other things I want to do that I have no chance of getting through inside the time I can possibly have left. I worked till 67 and was somewhat pushed into retirement by the lockdown. Covid also made me wonder if delaying retirement was quite such a good idea. Even if you are extremely fit you might just have less time than you think.
Anyway, we have a smallholding that is seriously hard work but allows us to do the "Good Life" thing which is a refreshing change.
Nobody else's business when or if you retire....
How many working age people actually work in this country?
6
Who wants to work on minimum wage ,you get f*ck all help.
ha ha best laugh I've in ages. what a set of dunces. "I'm 73 and love my job" what job getting paid for being a celebrity. wonder if he would do min wage job on the check out instead. another middle class idea. to make the poor poorer. leave the retirees alone and get those who can work but won't working for living.
Referendum on Immigration, Nigel !
I had no idea 50 was retirement age...
Narinder talking sense, I never who'd have thought,,got to congratulate her on this one, im sure there are many people like me, worked and payed taxes most of their adult life, but forced to retire early because of health issues, and too many young people abusing the system, It's the young people who need to get off their arses ,I've lied most of my life about my health to get work nowadays the opposite seems to be all too common with youngsters who have learnt how to play the system
Upto the retired person if they want to work again or not, who are any one to judge or question it.
Agreed.
Aimee narrative is so right - keep your mind busy and find a job you might enjoy doing -
Interesting comparing behaviours. Narinder needs to calm down.
Insulting others, rubbishing alternative perspectives and being so agitated and intolerant just alienates everyone else, weakens your own argument and ultimately almost makes you a figure of fun.
We were never paid a decent wage.
Whose fault is that ?
Find a job for a 67-year-old woman battling cancer, and I'll show up.
Who retires at 50??? Not a factory worker. You'd have to be pretty successful and have earned a lot of money to put in a pension.
We haveninvested enough in training our own , we have relied on importing workers. Also we spend an inordinate amount of money on illegal migration and foreign aid. I'm 57 can't get my state pension until I'm 68 (and that will probably go up). You want me to work another ??????? to fund what??? Our economy has been wrecked since the crash of 2008, 14 years later and no sign of light at the end of the tunnel. I'd work more and longer if I thought it would benefit my family and my community. But at the moment we have the greatest tax burden in my working life (and it's going to get worse before getting better). Politicians are well insulated against this crisis £80,000 plus a year, second homes they get to keep and 'allowances up to what? £200,000 and more.
No,,,,, I'd want a few years of family and no work before I die.
Yes I fancy being a talking head on a broadcast channel, seems easier than manual working 10 hours a day in the burning sun. Though James No'Brain on LBC begs to differ.
My Dad is past retirement age but he still works because as he said himself "What would I do otherwise?" Golfing and Bingo sessions at a care home can tend to get boring lol. 40+ years building houses and he's good at it so work can also be a good validator for your life. What could be good is if those now retired people pass on their skills to the mostly clueless in society today. I'd guess a much smaller percentage of the country today could build a house from the ground up and it's a skill we are all going to need to retain.
Try getting the young people of their backsides most don't know what a hard day's work is l blame all parents for this
No but you should pay nation insurance until the day you die. If you believe in NHS.
I was happy working untill they brought out IR35 now I just claim what I can instead of working and giving most of it to the tax man
If your happy working keep working
Work hard to get into Universities. Educate your children, stay committed to your wedlock , give a stable household to your children.
Yes , English looted their colonies. And still remain in denial.
Who rtires at 50?
Make up your minds will you!! People
moaned we were holding down jobs that held up youngsters and now you want
Us to go back to work. Just what do you want???????
Dan you are a N. O. B
What does Pete Waterman know about work, proper work, not poncing about in a studio making crap music.
let those 4 get a nice manual job and see how long they last, i would give it less than a month..
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
I wanted to to trade Crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
I have also been trading with him, profits are secured and over a 100 percent return on investment
“Every informed person needs to know about Bitcoin because it might be one of the world’s most important developments.”
he's obviously the best i invested 2000 USD with him and in 9 days i made a profit of 9102 USD
How do i contact CREED GILBERT
What do they mean over 50s my retirement age it 68
waterman is a millionaire he works for himself.....
I might look for a part time job.
You can tell who is the lefty from their ranty shouty voice

Stop this return the khohinor

Yes we do. But governments would rather spend the money on middle managers and the unemployed. Both useless!
No we don't, your falling straight into the WEFplans for this world

Hamilton ! Dodgy !
