and just a bit further north and to the west a bit (Merseyside to be precise) it seems the 60+s who live there don't have to wait until they are of state pension age before they can get free travel on local buses, local trains and merseyside ferries. http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/Tickets/concessions/Pages/60+.aspx
Just got back from a week's holiday in the Peak District in Derbyshire. Thought I would bring this local day rover ticket scheme to your attention - The Derbyshire Wayfarer. It is one ticket that enables a person to make many bus and train trips through Derbyshire on a single day. The ticket can also be used to make some trips to and from certain places outside the county as long as the journey ...

That's what keeps popping up on my mum's tv screen about every 10 seconds or so and she can't get rid of it. It only pops up on BBC1, no other channels, and only on one of her two tv sets. Does anyone know why this is happening and how she can get rid of it? It is driving her nuts and also means she can't really watch BBC1 on that particular tele (it's the main one downstairs) as it takes up ...
