I've got to wait until I'm 66
Like you it was always 60 for much of my working life although I was aware I had to wait until 65 when I gave up work in 2000. Then they moved it on another year for both of us after we moved here. Thank goodness for our civil service/local government pensions which was all part of our early retirement plan.
I still don't know how anyone would know if pensioners decided to while away the cold winter months in Benidorm. They used to say that it was cheaper to stay there on a full board basis for a few months than to stay in the UK and pay the heating bills.
