There is the free Gp visit card. That covers a lot - free flu injection etc.And speaking of retirement, I am that person and I hope to have my travel pass in a few months and I am looking forward to it.
It will be the only free anything that I am entitled to.
You should, if you need it. If you don't need it you shouldn't.I worked all my life and paid my taxes. Why shouldn't I have it.
All of you?We worked damn hard and are very entitled to some benefits .
The "we worked hard all our lived so we are entitled to things we didn't pay for and don't need" brigade gets to me.Purple, calm down
I've worked for the last 30 years and will be working for the next 20 (at least). I have never claimed any social welfare
I agree.No one can guarantee themselves future employment with certainty, or indeed that disability won't strike.
I'm talking in general terms, not about you specifically. I find the general sense of entitlement amongst older people shocking.Take it easy Purple. I was an actual worker in Posts and Telegraphs when Poles had to be erected. When the wires, not cables, had to be put on the poles for miles. Then cables had to be put up when the demand grew for phone lines. That was only some of the physical work that had to be done so I for one did not get it easy . It was lovely in the summer but not so much in the winter. You probably dont remember the old phone wires etc.
So I make no apologies for any , of which there are very few , benefits that I am entitled to. The travel pass is the only thing that I want actually.
Yes, that can happen the odd time.I know that you were not talking about me personally but there are a lot of people like me and probably more than the people that you were referring to . I thought you were getting over excited earlier.
No time; single parent with 4 kids and a job.You should take up golf.......
Wow, that was a while ago alright!I worked down the country in the times when people had to wind the phone handle to get the operator, that is not today or yesterday..
I know; my oldest is 22 and my second son is just about to turn 18.You have your hands full alright but enjoy your kids because they wont be ling growing up. It only seems like the other day that my two were kids , now they are in their 30 s .
I have the travel pass sorted, now to be able to make use of it.
1. Now apply for a Free Travel Pass for Northern Ireland. It'll take 10 days to approve.Thanks Saavy I cannot wait to get travelling and will make use of it , mask or no mask....
