I have decided us pensioners should keep our money for possible care fees.

Would be a really boring life in the meantime though.

Perhaps we'd all die of boredom before we needed to pay for care fees?

And a lot of unemployment as well.
We should give up our laptops and internet as they cost money which could be used for care.
Mind you probably not as they make us think which is supposed to slow down the onset of dementia.
My Dad was 89 an he liked the internet and he had a go at spread sheets etc.
If I had known about Gransnet I would have encouraged him to join.

Yes. They forget about the "grey pound" don't they.

No care home fees needed for me #purplepillsattheready

No!!!

Just keep on keeping fit.

And breathing.

How is this a product review??

Purple pils?
Do you mean Purple Hearts?
They were amphetamines in my youth.
If that's what you mean, you'd get high as a kite after a couple and forget?

I haven't got the purple pills! Granny23 has.

Galen It was me with the 'purple pills'. Used to be quite an often heard saying perhaps based on the pills issued to soldiers and spies going into dangerous situations in WW1.

Sorry! Tired after a long day!
Time for bed said zebedee!

Very droll.

Every penny of my pension is spent on basic living expenses. Sorry Frank, I cannot afford to save my pension!

With you there, shysal. My family are very good to me and if there's anything left when I shuffle off, they are welcome to it. The GC are bright and resourceful and will be well equipped to make their way in the world, just as their parents are doing.

Count me in too, shysal and anno. The inheritance I will be leaving consists of the things that money can't buy. Same as my parents left me.

The OP doesn't, I think, mean Warner Brothers as in films but I have no idea who these Warners are that I am apparently subsidising.

Still as to how this has anything to do with Product reviews

Must be the Warners holiday company, I think.

gracesmum It's not really anything to with anything – including Product reviews. I think it's meant to be funny but I'm not sure.

Earners are this hotels where it is adults only - no children. I hate the idea! Of no children, I mean. I like seeing them around in hotels.

We went for a Segway trip in the grounds of a Warner Hotel, it seems they do a lot of 60s weekends. Just imagine being stuck with a load of old people for a weekend? Saga have a Saga only hotel in St Lucia, not for me thanks.

To confuse this confused thread further -

DH (an exile from the next town) informs me that it should be a BLUE pill - also tells me that when people went loopy they were carted off in the 'wee YELLOW van' whereas here we would send for the 'wee WHITE van' to collect them. We are agreed however that criminals were arrested and stuffed into a BLACK Maria, but neither of us has any idea where the Maria (Marr- I - Ah) comes from - does anyone know? #nowlookingforbluepills
