About this Member

Retired and increasingly disabled. Disillusioned after 40 years of hard work and taxpaying which seems to count for nothing now I'm often in need, while people who retired when they left school seem to lack for nothing. The world seems increasingly inhabited by govt and local govt jobsworths with nothing else to do but make a thorough nuisance of themselves. Or perhaps I'm just getting old.

On the brighter side, I'm as active as I can manage, and like to do a bit of woodwork and reading. When I can't get about, my PC is a godsend.

I like to shop carefully but, while I've always been interested in technology, any new device or gadget has to be a lot more than 'cool' to part me from my money. Peer pressure is something I'm immune to.

I'll occasionally reciprocate on comments and reviews, but don't count on it, and please don't think me rude. I'm not in here every day, or even every week - I only have a few productive hours a day in me these days, and I try not to spend them in front of a PC or TV.
