Now I'm 50 what can I get free or discounts on

So basically,what you're telling me (I'm 50 in a few weeks time) is that there are no advantages to reaching your half-century? Boo! Although last week a young lad did give me his seat on the bus - nice of him and it did remind me to pop into Boots for some Lady Grecian 2000 - lol.

But then,as my friend who will be 50 three days after me,said "At least we made it."

Help!!! Was flicking past this forum as usual and the terrifying thought came to mind that this now applies to me. Turned 50 :eek: last month and am having a hard time adjusting to it, lol.

We all live longer,therefore in the great scheme of things and relative to historical age,we are all actually in our thirties, in relation to our ancestors ,who conceived the perceptions we now live with.

More aches and pains, you get more forgetful, you get a bald head, your hair - what's left of it - goes grey, and when people hurl insults at you they usually stick in the adjective "old."

Thanks kenshaz. I knew there was an answer. Now I just need to look like I'm still in my thirties, lol but with my new found confidence and bottles of hair dye I can probably knock off a few years.

Positive thinking is the answer here superscotsman along with the hairdye then the wig and bottles of painkillers. What you forget is probably best left that way anyway, lol. The older you get, the worse the insults you are able to hurl right back and get away with it too.

the inner person,forget the hair dye.

Apparently at 50 you become one of the people Age Concern are interested in - perhaps if you look at their website they might have some deals for you.
