Had no need for it as I had a car on the road and that packed up, from then on friends took me out a couple of times a week.
Just when my car packed up I'd reached 70 and had to renew my license but didn't bother.
Then my son got a Car two weeks ago and said why don't you send for your license and you could borrow my car while I am at work (He works Local) so I thought why not. He then took me last Friday week to get my Bus pass sorted as well.
Nice of him but there is method in is kindness he will expect me to put petrol in the car.
Hows that Froth
Well isn't it worth the petrol Alf -when your indpendence is at stake? You will feel old when you have lost it
Know what you mean, Lynda - I wonder who the old bloke is who hides inside all the mirrors in my house!
They are well worth it, when we are able to travel. My first one more than paid for itself a few years ago, with return trips made to Oban, Liverpool and then London, within a few months of each other.Received a reminder today that my Senior Railcard expires next month. Previous renewal was for three years - that worked out well!
Rather my point, I think. One of my uses was to go to professional society events, discontinued during 'Covid' and probably now 'zoomed' into extinction. Would have been good PR if either the expiry date had been extended or a reduced renewal price had been offered. I went for a three year card with the expectation that I would be able to use it yet for nearly two years that wasn't an option.They are well worth it, when we are able to travel.
Agreed 100%, I went to use my one a couple of months ago again and noticed it had expired a long, long time ago.Rather my point, I think.
