Well that's it I have reached the age that I can apply for my bus pass! Does it hurt when things start dropping off me? Do I qualify as a grumpy old man or is there a form to be filled in?

Thanks for the advice......

Bad news it's started 

I let the bathroom sink overflow after forgetting to turn the tap off!

If that's a couple of days it doesn't give me much hope!

The thing that I can't work out is.......at what age do you stop feeling obliged to give up your seat for an 'old' person?

Having reached the age of '50,10' (I refuse to accept that my age starts with a 6) am I there yet?

...so, Ian, think of it this way.....

...you've slipped into your seventh decadeUndecided

however, its only a bl**dy number, mate.....Happy

But do I still have to give up my seat on a bus?

We rarely use buses (our bus pass age keeps slipping backwards) but we used the courtesy bus from the car park to the house at Waddesdon Manor.

Two young lads got up and offered us their seats. I suddenly felt very old......Sad

ours too.....

mine was originally 60, the age our pals got theirs....then ours went back to 'your normal retirement age'.....so mine went out to 65....OH to 67.....by which time I'll be 72!

luckily legs and lungs still in decent working order...Wink

we were at Bath Marina site, got on at the P&R and, despite scores of people travelling, jumping on and off, we were the only two that actually paid..Sad

..students, old(er) folk, those 'less well off' etc....all flashing some piece of plastic or another...

We get ours at 60 in Scotland Smile don't often use it locally but it comes in handy when away with the van Wink

 

But it is much more difficult to get up from it.

Isn't that true Frown
