I have been warning my loyal customers for about 18 months that I’d be giving up. After the end of June my super polite mobile message using Vodafone extended absence will tell people I’ve stopped (I have a new number for post retirement) And similarly my email will have an out of office too...

Just checked - its actually 71 days and that includes weekends and bank holidays

And there seem to be far more people meddling with electrics these days too - from multiple trades and DIY Retirement in less than 100 days
