    As an over 50 myself, I don't think there are many.

    I can recommend the Odeon 'silver Cinema' screenings for over 55's - film, tea or coffee and biscuits for £3 on weekday mornings / afternoons, and they feature a lot of recent mainstream films. As I still work, I have to take an afternoon off to got to them, but I've seen Spectre and Bridge of Spies this year so far

    I can;t think of anything else age related that I can use at present....

    TBH I don't think there are many discounts for over 50s.

    In fact some discounts which were previously set to kick in at 60 have now been changed to link with State Retirement Age.

    Looks like the thread name needs to be changed to over 60 then.

    It was the over 60s way back when, then following whinges from over 50s it became the success it is today ;)

    I think it used to be called 'the silver savers' Forum before being renamed.

    You can please some of the whingers some of the time.

    Don't think you are getting the point. If there are no discounts specific to the 50+60 age range, seems a bit pointless calling it the over 50's money saving. There's been no whinging from me just a question! Lol!

    Yes there is, see #2. If the range was changed to over 60's you wouldn't know you could go to the Odeon for £3 :beer:

    The "range" has been changed a couple of times already I believe - can't please all the people all the time. Perhaps the best option if you can never find anything is to stop looking, though it's already been shown within this thread that there is, indeed, something for you here! Albeit rarely, it's here.
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

    I think you are repeating what's already been said? But then I suppose that's what happens when you hit over 60 ........ lol! ;-)
