Last night I was at the Cafe Royal to conduct an auction for the Tiana Honey Watson Fund, a charity for children with rare and metabolic disorders. Jeremy Beadle did the warm-up, which made my task that much easier. In all, the auction raised £42,000 for the charity, and the star prize of the evening was a box for 18 at O2 for Take That, which sold for £11,000. One of the highlight of the evening was when Steve, the compere, sold his suit - an unbelieveable outfit of beiges and pinks - for £3,000 to someone on table 7, who'd clearly had too much to drink. I got home at just after midnight to find Mary sitting at her desk reading through some papers for a meeting at Addenbrooke's later today - both of us are old age pensioners.

It sounds to me like you are both 'gold' age pensioners!
Keep up the great work.
It good to see you are enjoying your 'retirement'. You must be very fit to do what you do, I see you are doing some worthwhile charity work a lot of the time, Its a pity more do not put in what you do.
Thank you both for your comments. Best wishes, Jeffrey.
