I can always recall my dad saying to me that when you get older time just flies by,as a lad when days just seem to last forever I could not imagine this could be the case,but it is,the other situation I find when you come to retirement that weekends/bank holidays are no longer important and that you tend to avoid going anywhere during the bank holidays due to increased cost and travel disruption,I know when you are working the weekend and bank holidays are very important as it means an extra day or two to rest or do other things
