Hello fellow electricians, my name is John.

I am old, my knees are going and I retired last year. I still dabble though as I qualified back in the day when there were no such things as NVQs.

My work now consists of odd jobs, here and there, for family and friends. I hope I can share my experiences with some of you.

sounds like you're in the same position as me. knackered knees, disillusioned, winding down doing smaller jobs that don't require a forklift to get me off my knees.
 
Welcome Inspector, same as knackered knees, hips, ankles and shoulders. in fact completeley knackered all over
 
In that case why do I feel knackered, the GF is 24 years younger than me.

Well, that would also knacker a man out! I'm guessing you don't want to be taking any more pills, but apparently there's these little blue ones....
