jcredfer Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Compound2632 said: But I learn from the article from which I have taken that picture that even this anodyne revision is coming in for criticism from employment rights campaigners as giving a negative image of the over 50s; though I'm minded that many of you, like me, although over 50, would baulk at being described as elderly. What gives them the authority to designate over 50s as "Elderly People". The sign certainly does not refer to any age, but their reference to a possible connection between Elderly, the age 50 and calling it a negative image, is entirely of their making. What is equally interesting, is what the **** the sign has to do with employment rights campaigners, anyway?? A more valid conjecture might be that some "employment campaigners" might have, over active, mouths at the wrong end of their digestive tract. At more than a quarter of a century older than their implied definition, I feel rather more qualified than them to have an opinion on what might be elderly. I take the picture and the title, as a warning that, ahead, there may be more elderly people than might normally be expected, some / many of whom may be less than sprightly. 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider a SAGA package nowadays, though! It seems no time at all ago since I was pulling my parents' legs about reaching SAGA age. Now it's less than four years away for me. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Kris Posted February 10, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2023 The company that places adverts for McDonalds down here in Cornwall obviously has a bit of a wicked sense of humour.

Legislation was passed about 4/5 years ago that dictated your insurance cannot go higher than your last quote, as long as nothing has changed. Mine increased by £55, the year after. I stated the law change, and they immediately reduced it to the original price. If you don't ask, you don't get.

That's not quite correct - they can quote you more than last year, what they can't now do is quote you more than a new customer would pay, all other conditions being the same. If you think about it, they can always claim that something has changed - both you and your car are a year older... 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
