Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before,
Advanced a stage or two upon that road
Which you must travel in the steps they trod.

TP, having never met the bloke, sounds like a top guy whom at times has given me a heads up on certain brewing practices via PM, Goodonya Pete :icon_cheers:
Having met Pete, it's not so much worrying about him being an old fart, just worrying about when he does fart...

Yeah well, being old just means we have the runs on the board.
Like I used to tell the young bucks and does when still working, "there's no guarantee you will get as far as I have".
At 63, and retired, I don't feel old. It just means I have time to do things I want to do, without the stress of ridiculous government and corporate demands which bedevil most employees these days.
For goodness sake, why did I have to do a refresher course (on line) every year into stupid issued to do with customer service, sexual harassment, service standards, occupational health and safety etc etc ? Geez, I wouldn't have got to where I was if I wasn't innately aware of those issues, and already doing what common sense told me was good business practice.
One of my favourite golf days is Tuesdays, our veterans' (anyone 55 and older) competition at my club. There's some great older fellows to mix with on those days, (well, apart from the odd ********, but that's rare).
One of my great joys was walking out of another silly training session in the last few months of my time at work. The presenter asked the group: "Does anyone think there is such a thing as a difficult customer?" The general reply was: "Yes". We were told we were all wrong, because there were: "Only opportunities for solutions".
