meerkat, cheers for the tips - however we don't have a Starbucks in the backwater that is Bolton! Also the local Subway don't give any discount, but the one in the town centre does, how weird?!

Probably the two Subways are run by different franchises. This is the case in Kingston Upon Thames so vouchers issued by one store are not valid in the other even though they are only a few mins walk apart!

traffic wardens and police get free transport on bus services in and around the cardiff area on showing their I.D or in uniform

Members of the Royal Society of Chemistry can get 60% off their AA renewal - even if already a member - there was a discount code supplied by the RSC and you use it at renewal time. We did it this Jan and it has made the AA very competitive for us.

RSC Members can also get discounted car insurance - the brokers have to beat your best quote by 20 percent.

I also get discount insurance from work. So I took my renewal from the work scheme (already much cheaper than anywhere else) and the RSC brokers beat it by 20 per cent. :rotfl:

Next renewal I'll take the RSC quote to the work insurers and they'll have to beat it.

cheers guys

Hi
I've been made redundant 3 times in the last 33 years. At 58 I got a job as a postman with Royal Mail & now drive a 7.5tonne vehicle for them. The pay is reasonable, and I love the work. My wife got a job at Asda 6 months ago at the age of 50....so, there are jobs out there! Sorry, can't think of any discounts for your mum
Best of luck to your dad
