Income tax for pensioners should not exceed £4,000 per year.

"Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds crap fly, ..........

Just told my friend over the phone - and she loves you Frank. She has a 7 bedrooms, 5 bathroom mansion in Surrey - she'll now be able to buy another holiday home in Dordogneshire or Tuscanyshire with the savings on tax. Hurrah. And when her OH goes into a home, she will sit in her 15m x 5m kitchen, by the Aga, watching her many acres being tended by the gardener, whilst the housekeeper polishes the oak floors - whilst the State (hmmm other peoples' taxes) pay for his luxury OAP pad. She loves you, honest.

I wish I was a little grub,
With whiskers round my tummy.
I'd crawl into the honey huney pot
And make my tummy gummy.

gillybo I'm joining you at Ana's suggestion

OMG Orca I think it must be catching.

I know a happy place far far away
where children grannies eat jam and bread 5 times a day
Ham and eggs they never see
dirty water for their tea
now they are magically...............fading away, away, away, away.

Someone help me, help me help me pleeeeeeeease.

Come over to the dark side, Orca! You know you want to....

Gillybob why are you writing in the style of Frank?
Bejesus Ana has just converted too....

I can't remember the last time I did hand a card over to an assistant though
Ana in the shops I use they always have a machine and you just pop the card into it.

I know Frank is such a popular (and well off) guy that the shops probably radio each other to say Breaking news, Frank's in town

If you pay by bank card, they only have to read the name on it....
Although sometimes I use DH's, and I don't think I'd pass for a man, even on a very bad hair day!

Oh Frank (if indeed you are Frank) what are we to do with you?

I am very happy to say that I regularly use about 5-6 shops in my town and I delighted that none of them know my name !

Oddly enough though someone did refer to me by name in a local (famous brand) coffee shop recently

Oh silly me, yes I remember now it was my daughter.

Perhaps someone from Sainsbury's took the notice down, because they didn't want to lose your custom? Yes, that'll be it.....

Of course he did . Frank would leave no stone unturned !

Ana

I only use a few shops in the West Midlands on a regular basis and only about 6 know my name.
Oddly enough several members of staff know my name in my local Sainsburys because I worked with one of their staff in the past and they serve me ok.

You mean you actually went out and looked for it, Frank?

You will have to be more diligent , Frank !

gillybob

You have not told me where the shop is which has the notice ''Go home Frank and take your pension with you''

I can not find it.

Are you suggesting Frank is an imposter annsixty ?

Surely not.

Yes!!!

I think Frank insults us all by assuming we are so feeble-minded that we need reminding on a daily,even sometimes hourly basis, of his career/life/financial history. Or perhaps he thinks so many new members join everyday they need to be told. I for one refuse to be riled by Frank as actually I don't believe he is/can be real.

Frank please, please please get over yourself.

"London pension" ? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Unless of course you were in the London where the streets were paved with gold and you lifted some of the stones and then decided to distribute your largesse in the "poorer" parts of the UK? Although of course you went to live in the better part of the poorer part, didn't you?

Money is money, no matter where it comes from or where it is spent.

Perhaps you might have a different outcome if you had been paid in magic beans and then relocated to a land where the growing conditions were better for magic beans?

Oh, Frank can be very subtle, sometimes...

Really Ana ? Must have missed that one

Yes, it's fun! And sometimes he does actually talk some sense.

Just for the sport Greatnan no other reason.

I think Frank posts whilst holding a big wooden spoon and it is not worth replying to some of his suggestions. I am quite sure he is not serious most of the time. Why bother arguing with him?
