Pensions being paid while parents are still alive.

And re the OP, of course no one is taking it seriously.

Yes, Nonu I think, no, I'm sure it was because the person reported my comment and now.....

I actually agree! Regardless of whether or not Frank and Bentley are the same person, this thread is one of those ridiculous statements of opinion which the OP knows will create a stir...

I don't think anyone is, Greatnan

Why is anybody taking this thread seriously? It is obviously a wind up.

Haven't I seen a post start or contain the words "I know of a few cases where the offspring" somewhere before ?? I'm all with Ariadne on this one, and I'm sure we are not the only ones.?

My grandmother died at 103. Could anyone seriously suggesf that my parents should have waited until 85 and 82 to receive any pension. What a stupid suggestion.

Well, if she did, I will too! I think Frank and bentley49 could easily be the same person. So there!

AKA , What ??

Wonder what guidlines you broke ?

Frank Strangely enough, I too was born in 1949 but I like to think my literary style is rather different from yours and Gerry's.
No offence intended, of course

Another load of old Oh I do like that emoticon - so useful. I wish we could keep it after Wimbledon ends.

I had post deleted for suggesting that *** and **** were one and the same. Apparently I was breaking GN guidelines

Are you volunteering Bentley ??

ba dum!

I don't know what year Ana was born but I was born in 1949.
As Gerry sign in is bentley49 could we have been born the same year?.
That may explain why our literary styles are similar.

Frank

I know a lady who is 72 widowed and an ex police officer.
She was caring for her mother until a few months ago until she had to go in to care due to dementia.
Is Gerry saying she should be out dealing with criminals until she is 77+?.
I am saying 77+ because as far as I know the mother is still alive and in theory she could live for a few more years.

Frank

Bentley should be ignored.

Ana Frank and Gerry may disagree but their literary styles are virtually identical

Excuse me I should say MAY have two profile names. Frank/Bentley 49

Who does?

He has two profile names.

Could be his evil twin, I suppose....

No, Frank wouldn't say that. He seldom agrees with Gerry.

Could Frank and Bentley49 be the same person as that is something that Frank would say. Unbelievable.

Gerry only seems to post to say something controversial personally I am not going to rise to the bait
