Does anyone else think this is unfair?
I'm in my twenties, house prices are huge, sallerys are ever decreasing. Most people in their sixty's bought houses when they were reasonable.
Pensioners are guarenteed an income of 160 a week by the gov, but jsa is only 70 a week.
Just makes me want to boycott b&q

160 pound a week goes nowhere.
Boycott B&Q that will really worry them
Think you should change your profile it says you are 17
It's £110 per week and you have to have 30 years of NI contributions.
me thinks it is a wum woodbrush
I don't.
Or you could just shop at Screwfix, which is part of the same company (Kingfisher) and sells most of what B&Q does, but cheaper.
www.kingfisher.co.uk
B&Q 359 UK stores currently.
Screwfix 309 UK stores currently.
LOL....
Yeah, I feel the same way about places that offer discounts to students.
Life's a bitch, eh?
Ironic since the over 60s are a generation who are intensively into themselves and their own self -interest.
Special discounts for pensioners is a hangover from the era when old age was indeed linked to poverty, rather than today where the over 55s are a hugely economically comfortable demographic. In fact overall THE most affluent age group.
You make it sound so easy. Just walk out the door, ask someone 'giz us a job'. They reply 'yeah OK, you start tomorrow on 30k'.
In fact get a job at B&Q. It comes with a whopping 20% staff discount on purchases. That's 100% more than those pesky pensioners get.
Are we. I hadn't noticed I changed when I got to 60.
Whereas the 20 and 30 somethings never think of themselves!! ;-):D:D
