Retirement

Nice feeling this, I have just retired after more than 35 years in the fork lift trade. I have seen some good times in the past and know some lovely guys and have met some great customers. There is too much pressure on everyone in the industry to succeed now. However it is good to see how tecs in the industry will still help each other no mater what dealer or manufacturer they work for. Long may it continue. Bobby

Thanks Bobby. I have to agree with 'FLA Forum' and from where I sit, I hear almost every week someone lament how all the experience and knowledge is going to be leaving the workforce and might just be lost.
I hope you still find it enjoyable to help out the new generations by leaving your opinions and knowledge somewhere they can access it, like we do when we give our $.02 worth here.
If you ever get to this side of the pond and want to go fishing, let us know.
