The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I'm popping into town to renew my bus pass this morning.. 🚌

I’ve had mine nearly 6 years and still haven’t used it. I really should try and make use of it. We don’t get much for free these days!

I'd spank it relentlessly ifmI had one.

I use mine occasionally.
It's only on Stagecoach services, I believe. Can't use in London, unfortunately & only after 09:30 lest one be classed as a 'Twirly'.. (as in 'Am I too early?' when boarding a bus)

Surely this is something that can be done online unless you were going into town anyway.

So you haven't got the Freedom pass yet, aged 66+?. If you have one issued by an English county council or borough they can be used anywhere in England on buses after 9am, and anytime at weekends.

I'm going to see a dermatologist this morning about the sore I have on my hip

Quite possibly, but I was 👍

Mine is an 'older person's bus pass' as they call it now. I can use it on any Stagecoach bus in England and Wales (but not Scotland, I think). It's basically the same as a freedom pass under a different guise.

Unless you beat me to the Hamtun shop in Gold Street, the signed photo has been snapped up!
Someone's got themselves a bargain 😂

I do mine online, they're still using the same photo they have on file from when I was 60 😮.
Only change is that I look a bit more distinguished.

09:30 here in Poole. Cracking bus service though, Swanage, Corfe Castle by open top bus over the Chain Ferry and Studland, Dorchester, Weymouth etc. 😎

I don't have a bus pass. We don't get enough busses to make it useful.

BBQ pork chop with rice today

Another 2 1/2 weeks before the a470 is open again. I can't wait. I need to do a big shop in Aldi
