The government is not insisting you use a car, they are with online services. A lot of old people cannot afford or use a carPreviously most of us had to drive to the bank, search for and pay for parking, queue for ages and finally have the simple task of making an electronic transfer done.
Or we had to make an appointment with a tax officer and meet them in an office in the next county at the most awkward time possible.
And I don't recall a car allowance been available, or rebate on parking and fuel costs
Too many people put elderly people down.The government is not insisting you use a car, they are with online services. A lot of old people cannot afford or use a car
They are the richest demographic in the country with the most disposable income. Baybe they can use some of the State pension that the vast majority of them didn’t contribute enough to pay for to buy a car, or the bus pass they they get no matter how much money they have.The government is not insisting you use a car, they are with online services.

Luckily only 9% of them rely solely on the State pension.We well know that the state pension is a struggle to live on, where will they get the money for a computer?

What bit's untrue?A bit of nasty feelings there but untrue
You'll get free access to an online computer and a friendly helping hand at your local library.Now that the banks are forcing us to do online banking and government departments ie. Tax office are on line only, we must have a computer and pay a service provider. Should we getting an allowance for this outlay especially pensioners and welfare recipients

I was thinking more about Revenue than banking, but I'd be reasonably confident that they would have decent control systems to wipe the environment between users. They certainly have login controls - it's not just a case of sitting down after the last user and continuing.Not sure advising people to do their banking on shared public computers is the best advice unless they are sure what they are doing...
Yep, It's probably safer that most private computers.I was thinking more about Revenue than banking, but I'd be reasonably confident that they would have decent control systems to wipe the environment between users.

Are they less likely to have everything up to date than the average punter?They are public computers and you are deluded if you think they wipe the environment between users. You have no idea who else has used the computer or what they have done. You are trusting someone else to ensure that the system has the latest anti virus software, firewalls and has the latest security updates. I have been on library computers where the cache has not been cleared down and people have saved their login details to certain sites because they didn't know what they were doing.

Cheap house, you can't have it every way.I am loving rural 25 km from a public library
Back when you had to go to the branch to do everything, I'm guessing that wasn't a 5 minute stroll from your front door...I am living rural 25 km from a public library
Have you a source for that. Strikes me as unlikely.Luckily only 9% of them rely solely on the State pension.
