I agree with Indiana Jones/car dealers that it's not the age, it's the mileage.
Would the children of a cleaner and a postman have the same social mobility today?

Grrr... only fourth. Have a great day !
Glad you used 'Senior' and not the wretched TLA that unthinking people still use.
Grab all the goodies to which you're entitled; sadly there's still a lot of prejudice against Seniors, something which wouldn't be tolerated against any other minority, so get your own back.

I've bought the daffodils, unfortunately they take at least 24 hours to open so my wife won't fully appreciate them until tomorrow.
I'm glad you're already organised regarding age discounts. Even though I've now recently gone through 66, I have twice forgotten at my barbers. Even yesterday I didn't spot the concessionary fare on our Thames river cruise (Hampton Court to Kingston) until it was too late, the £1.80 reduction (in this case) soon adds up.

60 also used to be when my employer insisted we retired, but the law means that employers can no longer make you leave just because of your age, meaning one of the biggest decisions of my career (when to stop) suddenly became my own responsibility.

My Uncle was born 9th March 1930, so would have been 95 this year, if he was still with us. He made it to his 90th birthday, and got many years use of his ‘bus pass’. I hope you do too!

Happy Birthday.
Considering your (as seen from the perspective of your blog) lifestyle it looks like being 60 should be a quite significant financial boost.
Have you made an estimate of the savings a typical blogged month should accrue? - given your love of stats and numbers I'd wager you have (don't worry, not expecting something as personal as actual numbers).

I had my haircut yesterday. Halfway through I was looking at the price list and realised the Senior Citizens price only applied Monday-Thursday. It's funny how little things like that upset one a bit as it does when one belatedly realises one could have paid less if only ...

Happybirthday dg. I went past 60 like I had all the previous 0's, although I did buy lifetime National Trust membership on the grounds that if I lasted 10 years I would be in profit. Having done that 70 seemed much more significant - I thought that from now on my demise will be less and less of a surprise when it happens.

I hope you are enjoying an excellent birthday. 60 and 70 heralded big changes for me, mostly wonderful. Yet I did not like being 30. Now, I feel that 80 has been a bit of a reminder of old age, although ABBA Voyage made it a great birthday evening. You get a bit more tired after a day of activity. Your blogs are still a wonderful read every day, an incredible achievement, thank you!

One of the weirder things about events for over-60s is that so many still seem to think we were born during the Second World War. Vera Lynn songs and the like, when in practice even the Beatles is pushing it for many of us and glam rock would be more relevant.

Happy Birthday! I can recommend the Senior Community film screenings at the Barbican every other Monday morning. It's £6 and you can get a hot drink and a slice of cake for £5 before the screening. It's a very mixed programme - from the mainstream to the art house with quite a few documentaries thrown in. You have to be 60 but you can take up to three under sixties with you. I often go solo but sometimes take my son. Despite the promo film for the scheme showing lots of seniors chatting and sharing cake I have to say I have never had a conversation with any other cinema goer there. Its just a nice cheap, comfortable way to see a film.

Mick Jagger was storming the charts in the week you were born. It certainly didn't turn out to be The Last Time because he's still going strong at 81 and planning to tour next year.
Similarly, Paul McCartney is 82 and packed them in at the O2 last December, having wowed Glastonbury in 2022.

As Timbo mentioned, 60 was once a compulsory retirement age, and I remember being somewhat taken aback at having to leave the large company I’d worked at for the previous 40 years in mid flow. But then I did have a big send off party and was cheered on my way through the front gates - to carry on working as freelance while pocketing a substantial pension. While it was a sudden and major transformation, I appreciated it more with hindsight than what happened to my many colleagues when compulsory retirement was done away with. They could stay on and leave when they wanted to, but ended up hanging around and then drifting away as and when, with little ceremony or celebration.
So for all its arbitrariness, celebrate sixty for the right of passage it is!

Happy 60th, DG! Your post has made me realise I must’ve started reading your blog the year you turned 50. Feels neat somehow – knowing I’ve read my own 10 year anniversary with your musings around the same time as you finished a decade of your life. Makes me wonder how old your readership is? Am I (mid-30s) at the younger end, or is it spread out more than I think? How many women, men, and people of other genders regularly come to see what you’ve been up to? Anyway. Happy birthday! Hope you continue to enjoy good health and many, many more nerdy adventures.

Belated birthday wishes, DG. I hope you had a good one!
Andrew S - Yes, today's 60-plus generation would have been teenagers during the glam rock, punk rock and New Romantics era, definitely not Vera Lynn's heyday.

A belated happy birthday, DG. May there be many, many more. (and more blog posts, of course!)

A sign of how things change. I turn 60 in a few months, just after my son finishes his GCSE's
When my Dad turned 60, he had 2 married daughters and 2 grandkids (both under 5)
When my grandfather turned 60, his grandkids were all (late) teens or early twenties...

A belated happy 60th DG!
Love the DG presence in my London life, and so grateful I spent two years living in E3 which led me to this blog :)
