Good point, Anon 00.19. However, that is double edged. My ex-wife simply wanted to keep her hand in after maternity leave and so was quite happy to work as a languages teacher for less than a man, or should that read 'principal breadwinner', would, or even could, have done. She was just content to keep her skills honed and earn a bit extra. There was no need for her to have worked at all. (Those were the days when a SP could earn enough to keep a wife and two children in private education plus pay a mortgage) She certainly would not want to go on to the age of 67.

And do I detect that from the time of your post that you were working until after midnight? I was fast asleep by then and I am not yet 67, well not quite!
