There are a number of everyday words posted on Mad that are **** out which results in the letters having to be spaced out.
Strange.

And a couple of points Islay,....do people have less income than a ****ager when they retire?......most won't.

And......do you still think it should be 60?

When people leave school and start their working career they cannot possibly hope to earn the same wage/salary as a person who is about to retire.
The age limit for the National Entitlement Card (bus pass) in Scotland is still 60. Therefore I think that the age for concession season tickets and season tickets at Dundee Football Club should also be 60.
I would not have increased the age requirement for concession tickets and season tickets the way that the Dundee Football Club directors did it.
At a stroke they increased the age from 60 to 65.
However they had not done their homework and this jump from 60 to 65 created a problem.
Existing season ticket holders who were aged 61 to 64 years old continued to receive their season ticket at the price for season ticket holders aged 65 and over.
However a Dundee supporter aged 62 purchasing a season ticket for the first time had to pay the full Adult price for a season ticket until they became 65 years old.
In my the Dundee Football Club directors should have increased the age requirement to quality for an OAP season ticket from 60 to 61 the first year, 62 years old the next year and each subsequent year until they reached 65 years old.
This would have allowed a person aged 62 who was purchasing a season ticket for the first time to qualify for the concession rate if the age limit was 61 years old.

Do you think that a 60 year old in full time employment, possibly mortgage free should have free bus travel

Yes well I do , means testing is not the way forward and never should be , I’ll ask you do you think it’s fair a man/ woman lying in a nursing home worked hard all their lives and own their house , should have pay for their keep with their bought and paid for house , while some guy lying next to them hasn’t done a days work in his life never paid taxes gets his stay for free ? To me if your entitled due to age then you should get it no matter your savings , that’s bus pass, nursing stay or season ticket to dens

Where I disagree is I DONT think anyone is entitled.
