Harold Wilson was also a grammar-school boy who was astute enough to keep us out of the Vietnam War. Not like Blair, who followed blindly into attacking Iraq.

OK, but I really do doubt that she's 'oblivious' (the word you used) to the fact she can claim her state pension.

LOL, you don't know my friend, she is oblivious to lots of things, believe me. In her own little world, too busy to notice things like money matters.

The synonyms used in this definition just about sum her up:

oblivious

adjective
1.
not aware of or concerned about what is happening around one.

They seemed to have changed the rules on the way this is paid.
Last year, my OH and I each received £100. This year, my OH has had word that he will be getting the entire £200 While I appreciate that as a household we will still be getting the same amount, I am the one who actually used my £100 to buy coal last year and this year I have nothing.
