Slightly... since it concerns my *Pensioner's Bus Pass - as opposed to a Biometric Residence Permit. Anyway, in MY case, the *said concession is valid up until 19 September 2014 ... i.e. the date of my 70th birthday (which just happens to be round about the time the proposed Referendum on Scottish Independence is due to be held!). Presumably, my bus pass will then be renewed - unless:
(a) I have "pegged~out"before then ... or
(b) Newly-elected, 'President' Salmond decides to issue forth a decree to the effect that such a privilege - hitherto granted to aged denizens
of the resurrected Nation north of Berwick-upon-Tweed - is one of many the Scottish Parliament can no longer afford.
... I cannot make up my mind as to which would be the lesser of the two evils!!
