Ooh. Now *that's* an idea.

Except don't you have to be 65 to get a bus pass?

Yeah, I don't qualify until 2020.

For state pension, yes...but bus passes (scroll down a bit) are on a
sliding scale, following the female retirement age which is in the
middle of migration from 60 to 65.

Or are you THAT much younger than me?


Bus pass

The date you qualify for a bus pass depends on if you live in:

England - 6 January 2020


You *are* that much younger than me!


You were a postdoc when I was a spotty 1st year undergrad (and only the
third person in Biology to have a user ID). We were all in awe of you.
If only I'd known ...


Ha!
