I went to not my usual barber last week 4 days before my 60th. Whilst waiting I gazed at the price list. Gents £13.50, Over 65's £11.50.
After, he said "that'll be £11.50 please sir"
I was not amused !!!! even my best mickey taking mates say I don't look 60.
I politely informed him I was not yet 60 and gave him 15 quid !!!!

This starts to happen more and more often at various places, until in the end you just take the discount !trevjl said:I went to not my usual barber last week 4 days before my 60th. Whilst waiting I gazed at the price list. Gents £13.50, Over 65's £11.50.

just to say try not to mislay / lose the bus pass: £10 to replace by my local authority!
Just mislaid mine: it has gone on a spending spree with my Superdrug card!!
Murphy's law: will order a replacement and the original will leap out at me.......Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
