Pierre Jean "Buster" Martin (1 September 1906/1913 – 12 April 2011) claimed to be the United Kingdom's oldest employee, stating that he was born in 1906. Until his death, he worked for Pimlico Plumbers, a plumbing company in southeast London, as a van cleaner, and refused to take a day off on the day he celebrated what he claimed was his 100th birthday. He also received coverage in the media for reportedly fending off an attack from a group of youths in 2007; he was cited by the former Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell as "living proof of why people should not be written off once they pass retirement age". Martin stated that he would not retire from working.

  • ピエール・ジーン・"バスター"・マーティン(Pierre Jean "Buster" Martin、1906年9月1日 ? - 2011年4月12日)は、1906年生まれと自称し、イギリスで最も高齢の被雇用者と称していた人物。 マーティンは、ロンドン南東部の有名な水道配管会社 Pimlico Plumbers 社で、車両清掃係として亡くなるまで働き続け、自称100歳の誕生日にも休みを取ろうとしなかった。2007年には、若者たちに襲撃された際に、自ら対抗して身を守ったことでもメディアの注目を集め、その勇敢な振る舞いについて、当時の自由民主党党首 (Menzies Campbell) は、「退職者世代だからといって見限ってはいけないこと示した生きた証拠」だと言及した。マーティンは、働くことをやめるつもりはないと述べた。 マーティンが主張する経歴については、出生年を含め、疑問も出されており、死んだ時点でも実際には97歳だったのではないかとも言われている。 (ja)
