60. What now?

[Hill Wimp]

A belated Happy Birthday

60 is the new 50. In this day and age i wouldn't start even thinking of yourself as old until you reach 80. Then maybe at 90 you can at last officially call yourself old.

I got my bus pass at 60 and 3 months if I remember correctly. Go on the local gov website to check.
The library can issue it for you.
Happy birthday

Happy birthday and welcome to the club. Here in Wales, we can get an application from the local library. You need a photo as well. Take it back to the library and wait for your bus pass to arrive in the post, but as busses are far and few between I have not bothered.

Turned 60 today. What have I got to look forward to? How to I go about getting bus pass (even though we don't really have a bus from our village), do I have to apply or does it come automatically through the post?
As you can see I'm not used to this being, officially, old lark.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday Pete are you going for a celebratory ride Norton hill is calling

He's 60. That's very old. Shouldn't he be taking things easy?

But 60 the new 50 so not that old I will let him do it nice and slowly though

Not sure of the min age for the bus, maybe not 'till you're 65 but it definitely worth getting a over 60's rail card and register with someone like https://www.thetrainline.com/ .
If you use them in combination you can get some cracking rail deals. Last time I was over I travelled from London to Sheffield first class for £12, off peak.
Happy birthday.

That's the other thing to look forward to......a poor memory and dulled faculties

Poor guy, so he may as well book up for Euthanasia now. Don't listen! With more time and freedom to do what you want (funds allowing) you'll have the time of your life.

Congrats on your 60th, GP.

Just carry on carrying on and enjoy yourself.

Happy Birthday, you didn't look 59 on the CC ride

The age for bus pass entitlement seems to increase for every month till you reach 60. And then it's a faff (depending where you live) to apply. I really couldn't be bothered with the forms, proofs and whatever, so I guess I shall just have to keep pedalling.
