The thing that I can't work out is.......at what age do you stop feeling obliged to give up your seat for an 'old' person?
Having reached the age of '50,10' (I refuse to accept that my age starts with a 6) am I there yet?
...so, Ian, think of it this way.....
...you've slipped into your seventh decade
however, its only a bl**dy number, mate.....

We rarely use buses (our bus pass age keeps slipping backwards) but we used the courtesy bus from the car park to the house at Waddesdon Manor.
Two young lads got up and offered us their seats. I suddenly felt very old......
ours too.....
mine was originally 60, the age our pals got theirs....then ours went back to 'your normal retirement age'.....so mine went out to 65....OH to 67.....by which time I'll be 72!
luckily legs and lungs still in decent working order...
we were at Bath Marina site, got on at the P&R and, despite scores of people travelling, jumping on and off, we were the only two that actually paid..
..students, old(er) folk, those 'less well off' etc....all flashing some piece of plastic or another...

We get ours at 60 in Scotland don't often use it locally but it comes in handy when away with the van
But it is much more difficult to get up from it.
Isn't that true
