57.5 Degrees of Pain
A test shirt LG? Is that a tactful euphemism for checking out your poo?
In addition we get cheaper rail tickets here. Living in the distant north of Scotland I make a lot of use of the periodic offers of £17 go anywhere return tickets. Helps in getting to races!
I found Saga competitive for car insurance. But maybe they love my low risk profile (commute by running, live in the middle of nowhere, married with no kids). Driving too far makes my piriformis play up.

Advantages of being a woman of a certain age: it’s-5 outside, I’ve been cold all day but the moment I go to bed I’m too hot and need the window open to cool down ....

I’ve been exploring the scotrail 50 plus 57.5DOP. Looks like that might actually be worth the annual fee.

I've covered the cost (and more) of my senior railcard since I got one at 60, mainly on train trips to Fetch Thames Bridges Challenges and the Fetch Mile

Senior railcards are well worth the money.
As an Old Person resident in Wales I get free bus travel all year round in Wales and for short distances outside it e.g. Hereford or Shrewsbury; and on trains in Wales during winter months.

I'm with on that one too Doc Bloody auto correct 57.5 I did have the over 50 rail card when you got the first year free but don't know if I use the train enough to pay for the membership.
