Actually, I was thinking earlier that we can blame the men for being a bit slow in the moves towards equality. All along, the inequality bandwagon has focused on women being equal to men, ie that the mens' existing situation should become the new baseline for everyone.

I think when it came to pensions, men should have been much more assertive and demanded their pension age reducing to 60.

But seriously I don't think it's really ever been about equality, the pensions decision-making has been based on hard economics and equality is just the fairytale used to excuse it.

some interesting history here....


1925 - age 65
In 1925 a new kind of pension was introduced based on contributions paid at work by employer and employee. It was paid from age 65 without a means-test. A married couple's rate of pension was paid if both spouses were aged 65 or more. That meant many men had to wait for some time after they reached 65 to get the higher rate for their wives.
1940 - men age 65, women age 60
In 1940 pension age for women was cut to 60 to try to ensure for most couples that the married rate would be paid as soon as the husband reached 65.
1948 - retirement condition added
From 1948, men had to retire as well as reach 65 to claim the new Retirement Pension paid under the National Insurance scheme. If their wife was still under 60 when they reached 65 and retired they could now claim a dependant's addition for her.

Managed to get all 3 varieties of the Zeo in S, although they initially refused my coupon, until I requested a manager who I then read their coupon policy to from my phone...sometimes this money saving malarky is blooming hard work!

I too would like to know where the Zeo coupon comes from pretty please. If you don't want to risk a link, could you just say which website or whatever is hosting it please? Thank you!

Sad about sharpies but if we do a shop v S, we still get £20, which is not to be sniffed at. That, of course, is presuming that we reject them because, unaccountably, they don't have the holder.

If you google 'Zeo coupon' it comes up as a link for free Zeo (it's actually a £1.50 off voucher)
