A retired old man returns to work at the age of 78 because he cannot pay the bills

 A 78-year-old British man has returned to work in a call center after he can no longer afford his recently skyrocketed living expenses.

Maurice Taylor, from Cambridge, Peterborough, retired in 2012 but says he felt compelled to return to work as energy bills and the cost of living continued to rise.

"One of the gains during the winter is that I will be able to keep warm, because I will be able to pay the energy and heating bills," he told the BBC.

"Heating, gas and electricity prices are going up. I am worried about further increases in the cost of fuel and petrol. I know we have been told. That the current situation is temporary but prices will not return to what they were before.”

Mr. Taylor was previously a project manager at a company that supplies schools with furniture and other equipment, and in addition to fighting the cost of living, he says he is looking forward to social interaction in the workplace.

Morris began working in 1961 when he was 17 and continued to work until retirement. Sensing the danger of rising living expenses, Morris decided to apply for a job at the Edison Lee communications company and had two interviews before being accepted for the job.

Rang Gerra, head of customer support at Addison Lee, said the company advocates inclusivity and diversity, and has no problem hiring retired people if they fit the job requirements.

It is noteworthy that the living crisis has affected people significantly in recent months, as the British struggle to balance their financial incomes and the rising costs of energy and food prices, according to the British Daily Mail.
