This is a question I pondered whilst relaxing in a friend's hot tub in Glasgow last weekend. Now if your image of a hot tub was like mine - a tub full of hot water and some bubbles - let me tell you this is not the case! As I sank into the hot foamy water and the massage jets got to work on my back, shoulders, feet and neck I realised this was an experience I had not expected. As if the sumptuous food served that day by my friend and the delicious Chateauneuf du Pape I was now sipping were not enough, this took the weekend break to a whole new level!
So as I contemplated the Governments proposals to abolish the default retirement age (DRA) from October 2011 I realised there could be far worse ways to spend your retirement than relaxing with a good glass of red wine, a loved one or close friend/s in a hot tub - and once I cannot be forced to retire at 65 I'll have a longer working life to save up for the indulgence!
