Sadly there are a few who thrive on attention, of any kind, even if it's negative.
Even sadder are those who delight in being nasty, and bitter...for no good reason.
My mum's a pensioner, and sixty seven this week (sorry mum!)
She does have a bus pass.
She's used it twice.
Not getting that many chances to benefit from having one, as she's very busy by seven every morning.
Busy working full time to pay the taxes, like millions of other hard working people, with which to keep the wasters and idlers of this country in the luxury they've grown accustomed to.
She was really thrilled to use it though.
Like most who've grafted to fund the welfare state, it's nice when occasionally you're one of the ones who get a little something back for your efforts.
