It's bad enough being a knackered fiftysomething.

I am simultaneously a fifty something and a pensioner, and most definitely knackered. I'd add decrepit as well.
But despite this I have have the vote, and it certainly didn't go to that hoodlum from the backstreets....

I'm not sure that Muttley is an innocent from easy street.

I aim to be a knackered fifty something pensioner next year. Until then, I'll keep this open for another day for form's sake.
All being well March deathmatch should start next Tuesday.

I might get to 75 or more but there's bugger all chance of ever being a pensioner.

So when does being a pensioner actually begin? 1) Receive any sort of pension, even if aged 55 2) State pension age 3) When you start nipping into town for a couple of bits, and rather taking a brisk 25 minutes you end up doddering about for 3 hours, getting in the way, chatting to checkout staff about the price of eggs, staring at the car park ticket machine for ages as if it's a thesis on quantum mechanics etc

I started receiving one pension at 60, although I'm still working. Two years to the state pension.
In my case I'm likely to talk to checkout staff about quantum mechanics; car park ticket machines already understand it.
