    You can get a diamond club card go to diamondclubcard.co.uk which gives discounts at specific pubs/restaurants. Its free to apply for and you get a list of the participating establishments. Not used mine yet but have it just in case i'm ever near one. :beer:

    As I have only just applied, no, but I am sure some where in the application process I spotted a bit about "varies from pub to pub" or similar wording

    But I suppose anything off is better than full price

    We don't have one nearby it's about 15 miles away so wouldn't be worth the journey without a decent discount.

    I will have to give them a ring and check out their prices.

    I know the feeling!! Hope I have the energy to push a zimmer frame :D

    Well I didn't find any benefits when I turned 50, so I was actually looking forward to turning 60, getting a pension, a free bus pass and a focus 10% discount card. Now here I am...... 55, half way there and what happens........they up the pension age and Focus goes bust and the way my knees are going, by the time I'm ready for a bus pass, I'll be unable to walk to the bus stop. Still, look on the bright side.....I might be eligible for a free knee on the NHS...... If that hasn't disappeared by then lol

    I agree, its horrible ...what happened! Where did it all go. I am now half way to being 100. Scary stuff but unfortunately no be benefits either emotionally or monetary. Oh well, soon be dead (as they say)

    I keep getting junk mail about hearing aids, incontinence pads :eek:, aids and adaptations to help me get out of the bath, no questions asked life insurance etc etc. It all sucks.
