I'm always slightly surprised at the way that pensioners all become hard workers the day they retire. Yes most pensioners will have worked/worked hard. But some of them won't have, some of them will have spent their whole adult life on the dole. Not a big thing but it just always makes me chuckle how the whole cohort becomes 'strivers' as soon as they've retired.
