ExSurveyor Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The week long celebrations have finished. Brother Barry and I have reached the big 60. Free prescriptions and a bus pass. We both got a bowel cancer test kit from the NHS on the same day. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the free prescriptions at 60, which is very handy to be fair (although having a thyroid problem, I’d had them since 2009 anyway), but no bus pass until I’m 65 here. By the time that rolls around, they’ll probably have put the age up for that, though!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Congratulations! I hit the big 50 this year. I hated turning 40, but from then on I don’t really mind , although the retirement age will probably keep going up so I will end up sitting behind a desk till I’m boxed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Et nobiliori , quaerit: "Servus tuus et mater erat in domo mea?" "Non, pater meus esse hortulanum," respondit autem duplex. Translation: A noble on seeing his double asks "was your mother a slave in my house?". "No my father was the gardener!" replied the double. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It's twenty days, I think, to my 54th birthday. For the past few years I've received brochures for 'holidays for the over fifties' on the run up to Christmas and my birthday. This year I've only been sent funeral plan brochures! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
