Musician's retirement home

You may remember a post on my old journal entitled 'Where actors go to die...'

I posed the question

Do other professions have their own exclusive retirement homes?

Well, it appears they do...

I wonder if there's a retirement home purely for analysts. How about IT technicians?

  1. The actor retirement home is quite famous in the profession, amongst whose numbers, I have a few friends...

    I'm a big fan of 60s radio show Round the Horne and the principal female was Betty Marsden who died in the home in 1998 whilst having a beer in the bar. Wikipedia: "Marsden had been chatting to friends in the home's bar when she collapsed into a chair, with such apparent grace that she spilt not one drop of her drink".

    What a trouper! What a way to go! (mind you I would have finished mine first).
