Hello everyone. I’m John, definitely fiftysomething (think its 53 this year, but have attained an age where precision is no longer required), and finding myself at a crossroads in my life.
Should I follow the Victor Meldrew path of grumpiness, or embrace the inevitability of change and trip merrily down the highway to hell…?
Apart from that I’m unemployed, stuck in outer London, and looking for a way out of this place before I hit 70. Any tips would be appreciated.
Cheers,
John.
Welcome Johnny, good to have you on board, enjoy…
Hi there Johnny - welcome to the forum!
Hi Johhny and welcome to the forum
I am in my early 50s but have stopped counting, my mind is far younger that my body is telling me.
look forward to seeing your comments
Thanks everyone for your rapid responses
Hello Johnny, and a very warm welcome to you.
Hi Johnny, welcome to the forum - hope you enjoy it here…
Hi Johnny and welcome to the forum…jump in and have fun: )
Hello Johnny 
welcome, I look forward to chatting with you.
Hello Johnny and welcome
Hi welcome from your namesake. Strangely enough, it was only my dear old mum that called me Johnny. The wife has another name! I left London 7years ago, when I was 60. Had enough of work and the city.Have no real advice, good luck whatever you decide.
Welcome! Look forward to chatting, John.
Thank you all.
John, as a child I hated being called Johnny. I toyed with the idea of calling myself Jock, but… well… maybe I finally managed to embrace myself (only kidding) so Johnny it is 
Hello, nice to meet you - hope you enjoy the forum
Well hi there John matey. You’re just a young whipper-snapper yet. There’s quite a few on here who are unemployed (including those who like me, are ‘retired’ or through force of circumstances (again like me) are disabled and can no longer work anyway).
Welcome to this club and I too look forward to reading and responding to your contributions.
Thanks Merz and Uncle Joe !
You’re very welcome matey.
Welcome, hope you enjoy your time here.
Hi welcome i am new here, it looks like a really nice place
Hello Johnny. I’m fairly new here as well and this is a brilliant place to be, so get posting, chuck.
