Dear Cliff
Thanks so much for all those nice little invoices you send me every month - now that you're retiring does that mean they will stop coming? 😉 Seriously, I assume you're retiring so that you can do more skydiving, rally driving, hang-gliding and extreme ironing rather than sit with Charlie all day in the office - I fully understand. Please accept our very best wishes and we do hope to see you from time to time in between your extreme sporting activities.

All the best, Neil, Bridget & Hugo

Neil yes April 1, 2016

Good Luck Cliff. May the road be gentle and the sunshine long.

Tom McCollam Yes April 1, 2016

Been a pleasure to know you. Hope to see something of you. Sure I don't have to tell you that always pleased to see you both in Stow. PHM

Charlies Dad April 1, 2016

Well, knowing you, you'll probably be busier than ever now that the official stamp of approval has been attained. Hopefully we'll continue with our ad hoc public performances and who knows - I may pick you up on the Softail one evening and go for a blast! Enjoy plenty of quality time, Cliff. With greatest respect, Chris, Claire, James & George.

Retirement what all that about at your time off life??????
I thought young Charlie was first for that diffenatly at he's time of life
Whilst I have not dealt with you face to face you were a great help to the smooth running of southcot and yes you will be missed if you get under anybodyies feet in retirement just tell not ask Charlie you are coming back
However what you land up doing just enjoy
Perhaps you could fill CEO at Apple job
You will be missed by many. People
Best wishes

Hi Cliff,
Thanks for your assistance over the years!
Will be strange not to think of you beavering away in the office. Hope you have lots of fun activities lined up to fill up all that spare time you will now have 😉
But maybe the pic (from travel.com.au) will be a more accurate representation 😉
cheers from Marie-Laure in Sydney

What a journey we've been on and finally you're free to do anything and everything you fancy. You would have 'served less time' for some heinous crime of course but it's been a blast and I can't help but smile about the adventure we've all been on; I only hope you can laugh too and are none the worse for the 'tight scrapes' and 'seat of the pant' stuff that Charlie is so good at.
Have a well-earned break now - write more books, gate-crash more gigs and take on more adventures - and I look forward to seeing more of your moves on You Tube.
Many thanks for all the support, chats and many great laughs. Lots of love Anna

Anna Yes April 5, 2016

Hi Cliff

Been great working with you over the years and still very much appreciate you & Charlie making the long journey to see my fledgling band way back when.

I hope retirement is as busy or not as you want it to be.

Take care, Tony (and all at Prosolve).

Cliff, I wish you a happy retirement with plenty to keep you interested but not too fatigued. It was good to meet you and I would like to thank you for your help on the occasions we have spoken.
Remember to keep Charlie on the straight and narrow.

Mike Ashley April 6, 2016

Wishing Cliff a well deserved happy retirement. We are the fortunate ones to have Cliff as our next-door-neighbour and value his friendship, whilst we don't live in each others' pockets, he is always there to help and to 'keep an eye' on ours, as we do with his.
Good luck Cliff,
PJ & Nora

Nora & PJ Wade yes April 11, 2016

It's been a long time since we spoke
But just a quick note to wish you all the best.
Have a great retirement Cliff!
10 years with Charlie you deserve a medal :-p

All the best

Dear Cliff
And I need another three licenses what do you mean i've only got one left. Well those people left months ago, I didn't know I had to tell you and my printer's not working and I'm being told I can't log on as all the licences are being used and I can't get onto the server and its going slow.
I'm sure you haven't missed all of that from the peak UMIS years but your calm and professional handling of the frenzy out there (including beating your own service standards on a daily basis) helped make it the extraordinary success that it was. I really appreciated the solid support you provided and I don't think our customers have ever had it so good since.
So - good luck on your retirement Cliff although I guess you'll need to pop back for Molly's beans on toast every now and then:o)
Best wishes

Jes April 11, 2016

Wishing you much love and happiness as you run, hop and skip the road of retirement. May that road be filled with fun, love and laughter (maybe some harmonica playing too!!!). Have a great time doing what you love to do. x x x
PS: Thank you for your everlasting efficiency throughout the years - with most of those times being more efficient than me! Enjoy.
Best Wishes

Anita Peacock YES April 11, 2016

Hi there Cliff. It is surprising that we haven't met given the number of years we have known each other. However i do feel I know you very well having read your wonderful book about your life - maybe time now to do volume 2! I hope we can meet one day when I get round to seeing Charlie in Gloucester. Thanks and enjoy your retirement!
