Either that or you really are a social retard. -- Adam |

Have you ordered the Bus Pass yet? Premature these days I am sorry to say. We are in transition to bus passes at 65. People born on or after 6 April 1950 qualify on the day that a woman born on the same day reaches state pension age. So Dave has to wait until 6 September 2012.
