I reach 70 this week, an age I have not been looking forward to.
Getting to 60 was great as I had free eye tests and prescriptions, reduced entry to most events, and, best of all, free travel around London.
Seventy is not good news as I am too old for jury service and giving blood, I had to get a new driving licence, and, worst of all, travel insurance goes sky high.
