welcome to the sixty nothing club - I got there in May - make sure you apply for your Senior Rail Card ASAP - if you use trains you'll save a bomb! I'm not aware of anything else that you qualify at 60 thats worthy having, other than a finger up your arse from a pretty doctor for your gentlemen's inspection (prostate check)

Oh and here's one to cheer you up - like me you joined BM in your forties FFS!

Free prescriptions and eye tests from 60.
At 74 I’d need a mortgage for the free meds I now take if I had to pay.

I was 60 earlier in the year and it does feel different.
Friends are starting to retire, the older generation are passing. Now time for me to think about leaving work.

I'm old enough to remember the time when shops didn't even open on boxing day. They weren't open on Wednesday afternoons either, come to think of it.

Or Sundays

In Wensleydale, they are still shut on a Tuesday pm. It’s the lazy Yorkies!

Never heard them called that but love ‘em anyway. I’m always hoping for them, liquorice torpedos and some nougat at Christmas. Don’t mind a bit of chocolate but the old sweets rule for me,but harder to get every year.
