10 years here with just 11 to go if i can but doing more for less is not for me but like meeting people on delivery down here in deepest darkest dorset the support from the public is growing ever stronger this is what keeps me going the fact that you know that someone appreciates what you are doing

27 years - didn't expect to be in RM more than 3-4 years, but got trapped during the 80's recession.
First seven and last seven years were the worst. Things definitely getting worse financially since the Way Forward and the arrival of Leighton and Crozier :lfo :cfo
Was hoping to retire in 4-5 years time, but if those b*****ds get their way with the pensions it could be another 10 years.

20 years this Friday! My reward - looks like being another 22 years (instead of 17) until I get what's left of my pension.
