.....into their late 60's

I have to work pt till I am nearly 67, I wish I could have retired at 60 .
The last three paragraphs of the news article are so right.

This is so true Honey. I am 68 now & no way would I have been fit to work full time as a nurse the last few years, even though I consider myself in reasonable health.

Some people have no commitments and can manage working into their 70's, for family carers it's difficult.

I have always said this that people in UK are not well enough.
Something has to be done.
