Not for his sanity that's for sure!!!

He was only in for about 9 years before being forced to take retirement-so needs the money i guess!!

In the past we've had retired staff (including a recently retired manager once) come back at Xmas as Xmas casuals.

There has got to be other jobs out there surely. Return back to the land of make believe? In the words of Culture Club, when I am gone - I'm gone forever! ;)

:sad: If he retired on ill health grounds, he normally couldn't apply for a job until 2 years have elapsed, but maybe if it's only a temp position, he might get back in/
