    As with everything, there will be some hit hard but for others it will be a mere inconvenience. In the latter group will be [Drum roll please] the Public Servants.  Never pick up anything heavy, never work in the sun, never even walk up steps, they will be like new @ 70, even their brains will be unused. They cannot be put off until retirement either.

    Contrast that with anyone in the trades. I was an electronic tradesman, by 45 I was needing glasses and that was not ideal and eventually you just can't keep up with technology that runs too fast to keep up with. What do I do for the next 25 years? For guys in the building trades it is much worse, they are physically clapped out long before 70 and there just aren't that many foreman jobs in the councils.  

    But remember Eagle, 'twas labor who boosted it to 67 so they can't say that it is unfair, they did the same.
