Most places that offer what is now politically correctly called "concessions" offer that price to anyone over 60 or 65 (plus lots of other categories) tim Why not make it over 70s,at least you might take the sex clubs out of the equation :-) 70+ get before 6pm BOGOF offers in sex clubs. where, where? |
