Why is it crazy to have firefighters working at 60 (Letters, October 2)?
Surely they can go around and check smoke alarms and water pipes in the road?
How many actual fires were there in Brighton and Hove last year?
And with all their spare time, surely they are able to keep themselves as fit as a 19-year-old.
I know a plumber who is 78 and still working because he didn’t have a good pension like the firefighters get – it went up in flames.
Still, at least they don’t have the parking problems we builders have.
It’s tough being 60...
