I was talking about my new *best friend, when another friend of a similar age looked horrified.
You use a *senior rail card, he asked as if I was confessing to some deep dark secret.
Well, hello, why not? I retorted.
I would rather pay the extra than admit my age.
Huh?
Ageism from our senior citizens. No wonder so many of the younger generation actually fear and despise old age.
As Colette once said, your age is only useful on a birth certificate. Exactly.
I don’t feel like a pensioner and by all accounts don’t act like one but to refuse the little perks that come with ‘a certain age’ seems pretty foolish to me.
