What about "Yaou African prince" had some great one liners in the overdub. Po the pigmy with his blowpipe "Did you think I would miss?"
Right up there with the Flashing Blade and "C'mon Belle". Jeez I am old!
….after being retired for 6 years, I qualify for State Pension from today. I dare say, that officially means I’m an OaP, the council have sent me a new bus pass so it must be true (i rarely used the last one).

Birthday today?
I didn't realise that mate, from what I have read I am entitled to free bus, merseyrail and Ferry services.

Yes you get that when you’re 60 , when you reach state pension age you get a nationwide bus pass. I don’t know if that doubles as your Merseytravel pass.
I'm 68 in a couple of weeks but I have had neither

With high petrol prices it's a decent perk. Here in Spain we get a pass that covers local buses only ( the city/town is so small I could walk across it while waiting on the bus arriving) half price on the beach bus. Does the National bus pass still cover London?
I have had free mersey travel for eight years and may have used it about 4 times. Have never used the free nationwide travel since I got it two years ago. If you do (or would) use public transport it is a definite money saver though.

It saves me a lot of money, travelling further afield you save by just paying from where Merseytravel finishes eg Newton-le-Willows to Manchester.I have had free mersey travel for eight years and may have used it about 4 times.

….I think of my own grandkids with their sleep bags, adjustable cots, white noise toys, cameras and monitors.
Remember being at a match in the 70's and 80's and your team would score and the opposition would sing "you're gonna get your f****n heads kicked in", oh I miss those days ?, probably done for hate crime now.

We where more resilient then.
I think back to Liverpool in the 1970's, yes we were brassic , the city was crumbling, but it had a unique character.
Town is now like any other city in the UK.
