    You youngsters don't have to worry, the government are doing their best to get rid of average pensioners.
    No doctors here, surgery sold to a private company. Receptionist gives you a date for a blood test and you get the meds suggested from remote workers somewhere in the world spelled wrong, not related to your history and sent to a random pharmacy.
    Add that to freezing at home.

    I'm convinced it's to get the pension costs down by removing the pensioners.

    But be warned youngsters, your turn will come 😉
    There won’t be a state pension by the time I retire. Those destitute will get pension credits. Everyone else will be on their own.
