There is a section of society who begrudges such concessions awarded to the less fortunate. Not only he (Groove) thinks this way - so it was a valid topic for discussion.

Really?

Well who'd have thought that?

For some, if it ain't on a conspiracy theory website, it can't true.

I pity your medical condition, but do not regard it as a reasonable excuse to ridicule and denigrate the opinions of others.
 
Groove dislikes the disdain with which Maundy Grange is held...fair enough, a fair amount of undesirables frequent MG...but any charity that helps the homeless and societys unfortunates will undoubtedly attract such people...The salvation army in B'burn is probably the same...i do not frequent MG by the way.

Just as it's also valid to point out that some who decide to criticise the rights of others, are foolish to take the moral high ground, when it comes to who's entitled to what, when they've chosen not to contribute to the common pot.

Skin up, and reflect on this.

Everyone on here loves it.

It's the jewel in the town's crown.

A real draw.

It brings in tourists from all over the place.

I neither ask for, nor accept anyone's pity.

Especially your's.

Compared with some soft saps, I feel blessed not to be as handicapped in life as they are.

It is difficult to feel compassion for people who wear illness like a brick on their shoulder and regard it as a licence to dish out insults and ridicule without fear of retribution.

...and even though I'm not religious, I shall light a Yankee candle for you, and ferevently hope that the bitterness you carry leaves you, in the hope you know a little peace, whilst there's still time.

Anyway, back on thread.

The bus to the Funny Farm has just pulled round the corner.

Form an orderly queue, and don't forget to wave, as you set off.

Persons over 65 are unable to claim Disability Living Allowance.

The rates for the mobility component are:
lower rate - £19.55
higher rate - £51.40

Many person over 65 meet the criterion of the test 'virtually unable to walk' -
This test looks at your ability to walk out of doors on a normal flat surfaced pavement or road.
The following factors are taken into account :
distance walked
speed of walking
length of time taken
manner of walking
When stating how far you can walk remember that any walking done whilst you are experiencing severe discomfort does not count.
For example; you may be able to walk 100 metres but can only do the last 80 in severe discomfort.
It would be reasonable in this case to say you can only walk 20 metres.
Pain and breathlessness are also considered when assessing whether or not you experience severe discomfort.

So by providing a pensioner bus pass goes some way towards compensating the elderly for not getting DLA.

Care to provide any factual evidence that I've ever done that?

Other than to say I sometimes need a seat. A need shared with many others.

I'm sure we'd all love to see all the quotes you're going to provide, to back up your claim.

:rolleyes:

I feel sorry, no contempt, for the demented clown that started the thread in the first place :mad:

Not bad! Unemployed through drug taking but tax payers are giving you enough spare money to use taxis? I hope we're giving you enough so your whole family can travel in style!
Then you moan about free bus passes for OAP's! Don't forget some of them are still paying the taxes you are enjoying spending.
