My original comment was meant to be very 'tongue in cheek'. I do appreciate the points you make and I too can foresee problems, especially for people who have had all their main sources of pleasure (sport, pubs, clubs) removed from them.
For once, it seems to be a positive advantage to be retired and to enjoy the quiet life. I have great sympathy for those who are trying to cope with a houseful of teenage kids, while being out of work themselves.
