    That’s a nice end to a career. He will have seen all sorts of changes down those decades. 

    There was another nice story about a Virgin Airlines pilot on the news a couple of days ago. He was firstly furloughed, went to work in a jam making company, packing and out on the road delivering. He was actually made redundant, but had his second job. Then he got a call and now has his old job back with Virgin Airlines, flew one of the first USA bound flights out of Manchester on Monday. A good end to his tale thankfully.

    Glad to see someone appreciated.....

    I spent 44 years on London Transport, 20 on the buses & 24 on the trains, with 10 as an instructor, on my last day wasn't even a local manager on hand to say thanks/goodbye..... not that I expected anything different but would've been nice to be surprised surprised

    Even at my 40 year service award there wasn't a manager there from my depot, just someone I never knew who had to ask my wife about me for something to say foot-in-mouth
