During the Wednesday race day of TT 2006, Dave H, my long-suffering line manager, sent me a text message apologising for disturbing me on my holiday but that a new 'release scheme' had just been announced by the company (BT) and that I should take a look at it.
Once racing was completed for the day & everything was cleared up & I was settled at home, I logged-on to work to see what the deal was.
I wont go into details here but suffice to say, I was VERY interested and called Dave to have a chat.
We agreed to leave it until next week when the races (TT) would be over and I was back at work when we could discuss it in more detail after I had thought about it...
This prompted me to create a new category on my blog - Retirement - and this is the first entry!
