Apart from the minute when you die there is another moment in time that if we live long enough will change how we are perceived and dramatically alter our existence.
It’s the minute that changes you from a 79-year-old to an eighty-year-old. Your car insurance doubles in price Travel insurance becomes so expensive that those lazy days spent in Cyprus are replaced by a three-day excursion to Ryle, but even worse you have to go off-peak when the sun is a distant memory from last summer; and this year’s sun has not risen. You no longer walk in a straight line which is like; manner-from-heaven to the police if you are pulled over as a suspected drink-driver.
Now for the benefits ……………………There aren’t any.
My moan is because my car insurance has risen from £374.00 to £754.00, I have looked on every website and the lowest price I can get is £540.00
L V, have a website, Age Co, that states they insure drivers up to the age of 110.00 when you try it and complete all the forms it states they no longer insure people over the age of eighty.
I complained to the management who said they have not updated their website yet, but don’t have to.
I said ageism is a form of racism; they didn’t reply, even if they reverse their policies I don’t think I will be accepted.
At nearly eighty Two I don’t consider myself as old and don’t live in the past,.
Just noticed the time and its past when I listen to my sixties music, must get the ear trumpet out.
