What can we do to curb these ferral pensioners?

[Svejk]

Don't know they're born.

[petal54]

making up for lost time.

[Arksided]

Its good to know they're plenty of old dears on here keeping the balance.

[DJHawkes]

to be honest I'm really quite looking forqard to be called an old dear, as long as I'm oblivious to the comment as I lounge on a catamaran on a tour of a caribean island whilst it's uttered that suits me

[Arksided]

what do you mean looking forward ;-)

[Peter Pedant]

wild thangs

yeah I do things with my stick which make younger people blush....

[tamborine]

They hold up Asda checkouts by paying bills with pence they forage for deep in every pocket, then find theyre short of money and the queue has to wait longer for a supervisor to cancel sales.

[Peter Pedant]

Oh come on its only a bit of fun

and they aint doing anyone any harm mostly

[DJHawkes]

I pay with my debit card and I don't hold anyone up ! Though of course i'm not 60 yet, i keep forgetting lol

[jno]

keeping on forgetting things is an important sign that you're nearly there, dot

[DJHawkes]

I know I'm nearly there but what is bloody irritating is that 10 years ago i was thinking, only 10 more years and i can retire, now i've to think, only 8 more years and i can retire, who knows, they could move those pesky goal posts again!

[Arksided]

Don't forget that they can't control a shopping trolley, I can't wait to get there and be exhumed.

[anotheoldgit]

The youngsters have made it a tough old world, so I say if you can't 'BEAT' them join them.

Pity that poor 81 year old who was beaten up by that group of young yobs, did not have the support of a few more 80 plus year olds to balance things up a little.

Just discovered I can still have sex at 88, great stuff I live at number 90 so I've only got to walk two doors down.

[pixie373]

Lol. WR!

[sp1814]

Here's the thing...when we get old, everyone becomes Miss Marple, but the two chaps who were fighting were only in their mid sixties. They could very well have been football yobs in the 1980!

Just because people are over 60, doesn't necessarily mean they suddenly start wearing cardies, listening to 'The Archers' or baking cakes for the WI.

[Peter Pedant]

O when they start scrapping, I expect them to take their cardies off.

It takes a few hours and allows the other OAPs egging them on to sell tickets and open a betting book on the outcome.

[humbersloop]

tearing about on their mobility scooters with no respect for other pedestrians, it's like Mad Max out there. And their attitude to young women with pushchairs is a bloody disgrace - unless they're benefit scrounging single mums with five kids by eight different fathers, in which case it's probably ok

Why didn't you dip in your own pocket, Tambo, you tightwad.

I remember a few years ago the stewardess of the local welfare looking forward to a trouble free night as the function room had been hired by a local pensioners organisation. It took four car loads of police and and a dog handler to clear the room.
