60 is the new 40

Hi Anne I'm a year ahead of you born in march 1953 the last report of when I can get my pension is when I'm 62 years and 11 months. If I was a year younger it would have been 65 years and 5 months.
Due you still get bus passes at 60 or have that also changed.

I was in 'Fopp' today happily browsing the Bob Marley and the Eric Clapton discs. Not so 'young' you might say, but at least it was not Victor Sylvester or Vera Lynne.
I am 76. (and male). We are the age we choose for ourselves.

I liked Victor Sylvester and Vera Lynne, and I don't give a toss whether or not my trousers are fashionable - I just want them to be long enough to be able to tuck them into my thick socks when I am walking. Flapping trousers can be a hazard when walking in difficult terrain.
I am 72 and look it, but I am fitter than I was at 40.

Daman; have you seen the new film about Bob Marley? I missed it when it was at our cinema but it's supposed to be very good.

not sure about bus passes Nannytotwo but you are about right with pension dates!! shame really but same for everyone else!!

my friend as 60this year and she has not got pass yet if that is any help!!

I too missed the Bob Marley film but noted that the DVD is £13. I might ask one of my family to consider it as a present for me (to keep me quiet and out of their lives)

Any others into ZZTop and Led Zeppelin? I'm determined my GD is going to grow up appreciating great music!

robert plant has been the love of my life for at least 40 years, and isnt he aging nicely! my gd is 11 and has been educated in led zep, ac/dc, etc, she has a quirky nature , loves ab fab, monty python, am reliving my years with her!
