    So this bus pass thing is some old age entrance rite in the UK?

    I hope that you have a happy birthday, Peter, and many many more. :)

    Peter,
    At your age, you should really open the package straight away and enjoy it. I mean, one never knows, does one.

    And there we would all be, left in the lurch, never knowing what is in that darn box.

    Seriously, HBTY.

    Best,
    Dave

    Happy Birthday Peter.
    I was sixty in March and am waiting for my £200 fuel allowance at the moment!! I also use my bus pass regularly and will be looking forward to getting a cheap ski pass in the Italian Dolomites next month!
    Be warned, the Saga offers will be coming in even more regularly now!!
    Cheers,
    Martin.

    Happy Birthday Peter. Remember the saying... "you're only as old as the woman you feel", so if Lynn's younger than you then you should really hand back the bus pass :) .

    Have a good one - and many more.

    Thank you all for your kind wishes. :)

    Apologies that I've not been able to post sooner, but Lynn dragged me out, (kicking and screaming :wink: ) for lunch and quite a few drinks. :shock:

    At my age, I ask you. :twisted: But I have had rather a good day. :D :D

    Anyway, I'm back and will post pictures of my present as soon as they're uploaded to photobucket.
    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
