sat at Gatwick.
It might be on catch up at some point. I think they tend to do that.
If you Google Steve Davies, grave cleaner, quite a few things pop up. The interview this morning was lovely but I'm sure the other posts get the same point across. There are a few other YouTube clips etc.

So the questions go…
Do I not miss work? What do you do to fill your time?
You gotta be kidding…
How’s about doing what I couldn’t, or just didn’t, previously do. And being available whoever needed for wider family support stuff.
Yes indeed. It’s awesome.

Apparently there is a shortage of maths teachers.
I would go back to work for £10,000 a day or £60 million for a year.
Just waiting for the PM to give me a call.
A seat in the House of Lords for doing so would be expected, of course.

That's exactly what I've been thinking.that just doesn't add up
£10,000 a day for turning up and talking is the going rate for ex MPs and some serving MPs.
£60 million - well - I need not explain.

A month short of 6 years retired.
Do I miss it? Yes! I miss a lot of the people, and I miss the year end buzz as we chase down the numbers. Would I go back to 60 hour weeks? No, but 3 hours a day working in theatres and ICU would be fun. I’d even do it for pocket money, not a full wage. It would be great to be back on the tools, not behind a desk.

Thing is. The sort of job I did I was never really involved with the drama of year end ‘chasing numbers’ stuff…and for the last 5 yrs or so of working I worked from home and rarely, mostly never, met (other than on-line) any of the teams and people I worked with.
As my company paid me to leave - and the pay off gave equivalent income to that I’d have earned if I’d continued working to my target retirement age - rather than look for another job just knocking it all on the head was a dead easy decision.
But if someone wanted to pay be a nice number to teach some maths then I could see me maybe doing it…though without ever taught the subject - or indeed done any teaching - I doubt I’d get any offers…no matter.

Over a year now....only thing I miss is the gossiping with the kids...the rest of it can stay stuck where the sun don't shine...
And long may it continue....
