B4ev6is Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 If anyone over 60 at Iceland you will get 10 percent of anything you shop and on tuesday all you need is gold card or driving licence or passport or prove of age card. I do hope this helps you all out if you need it. Mucker1884, Comrade 86, sage and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I suppose every little helps, but why are those of pension age always the target? With the triple lock state pension, plus a larger proportion of current pensioners benefitting from a final salary scheme than future generations will, is this age group the best target? Maybe the unemployed under 50's need help more, for instance. therealhantsram and I know nothing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 62 and most of my contemporaries had final salary pensions whipped away along with companies taking “pension holidays “ when funds were supposedly full but never replaced them when the funds became depleted. I don’t begrudge anyone getting help. This Govt wants the young , old and poor to blame each other as a deflection to their incompetence and and cronyism. We should stick together and support each other where we can. Derby4Me, angieram, I know nothing and 10 others 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 That's the problem with choosing any group - there are people in all sections of society who are richer/poorer than others. Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should stick together and support each other where we can. They do the same with public sector v private sector or with people going on strike. They are trying to divide and conquer, but people should be supporting each other and sticking together rather than bickering amongst ourselves. sage, JoetheRam and Reggie Greenwood 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our little Asda in Utch doesn't have a cafe so I'd have to drive to Spondon or Stafford costing £5 in petrol. Boycie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless things have changed recently, there hasn't been an Asda cafe at Spondon for a good few years. (Gotta be well over a decade, if my lousy memory doesn't let me down here?) There is a McD's in there, however. No idea whether there's a cafe at Sinfin Asda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right Mucker, Sinfin has a cafe but not Spondon. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
