As for the youngsters and black looks.I would think there is a lot more chance that we've been subsidising some of them over the years, rather then the other way around.

Bernard....when you enter the phase of senility as I have been accused of many times on this forum, you realise that the ones younger than you have been brought up to accept hand outs as a way of life.
I qualify for a bus pass but as of now I have not claimed it and I would think that many pensioners with cars dont claim the right to a bus pass.
If you can get about under your own steam and are fit enough to do so, why subject yourself to a means test.
Too many governing busybodies paid a lot of money for coming up with hairbrained ideas for persons they think are too old to realise that they are being hoodwinked..........did not come from my school.
