    Hmm ... well ... as a "Grumpy Old Man", I - like thousands of others of MY vintage - have good cause to gripe if the Government decides to do a 'U'-turn on its pre-Election pledge that Concessionary Travel and the Winter Fuel Allowances would remain unaffected for the over 60s. Last December, for example, my gas bills soared astronomically as, contrastingly, temperatures plummeted to their lowest levels for three decades.


    It seems successive administrations continue to be quite blase' in maintaining the status quo that encourages the super-rich to prosper ... at the expense of the more vulnerable groups at diametrically opposite ends of the age spectrum.

    Yes they keep chipping away bit by bit at our concessions we have contributed to over our working lives.I love my free travel in London, so much so that I never drive to Heathrow airport now, I am going by tube on Sat to pick up my wife returning from the PI. I was also glad for the winter fuel allowance last winter but it was a mere drop in the ocean, the worst gas bill came in at double what I was expecting, ridiculous, I warned all at home this year jumpers and blankets or go visit friends.
