I thought from the title, that you were being a fire truck or something.

Congratulations on entering an exclusive club, that is hard to trick your way into.

Shano..Hard to trick your way out too.
It's a mixed blessing - you will now be ignored by every politician doctor and civil servant.

Welcome to the 'Golden Oldies' club Col.
I get free public transport all weekend and during the week after 9 am. Makes my train ride to work cheap as I only pay one way. Free ride home.
My Gold Card gets me some discounts on hearing aids, glasses, Prescriptions, doctors .... I think they are trying to tell me something.
