When I'm 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70

From 2010, women in the UK will see their pensionable age rise from 60 year on year until they reach their male counterparts at 65. And with talk of raising the pension age to 70 to help pay for thr country's dire financial predicament our perceptions of when and how we will retire are challenged now like never before.
So is this a good or bad thing? Well I guess that depends on whether you want to retire or would prefer to continue working - and there seems plenty of people that fall into both categories. At the moment employers can legally force a worker to retire at pensionable age whether they want to stop working or not. Surely a more flexible system should be employed to ensure those that want to work can, and those that want to retire can do so at an appropriate age.
Experience and years of service can be incredibly useful to any company or organisation and in today's fast moving celebrity culture, the value of a steady and experienced hand is too often highly undervalued.
Staff who retire after giving years of service should be recognised and rewarded when it's time for them to retire. This sends a positive message to the workforce that hard work and loyalty are valued and recognised in your organisation.
