80 year old 25p
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2022 1:39 pm
Recently I reached the age of 80 and for that I now get a pension addition of an extra 25p per week !!
Had to Google it to check it is really true ! It was set at that by government in 1971 when 25p was worth a few pounds, and no government since then has increased it "because we are now giving a free TV license to all over-75 year olds".
Of course that has now been largely abolished, yet the 25p remains still !
