Yesterday a fellow worker from work retired after 43 years service,
I have known Dave and got on well with him from the day i started he works in another depot, but we talk and see each other when passing,
He said he was looking forward to 12 pm thats the time he is going home but also he is sad too,
The last 15 years has been hard for him, he was involved in a nasty accident at work, his own fault he jumped of the dock while a lorry was reversing and it crushed him, lots of problems happened but he came back got a massive payout and that upset the boss, and they have not be the best of friends since then,
But yesterday the boss was at our place then shot of to say his goodbye and present dave with a going away cheque,
I wished him all the luck and his parting words was dont leave it too long Steve, once you have made your mind up then dont change it,
There is only 1 more in front of me then its my turn, but i am hoping to go early too, hay ho, time waits for no man or woman they say
