Does being 60 give you free prescritions in England.

Simple answer, yes. Have a look at the prescription form next time you have one, and tick the appropriate bit. After I turned 60 I didn't realise that for a year or so - I'd rather assumed I'd have wait until I turned 65.

As for "England" - if the Tories get back in, I don't imagine it'll be too long before the Scots and the Welsh go independent. Which will mean that "Britain" will once more be a geographical term rather than a political one, and England will be a nation once again - made up of all shades and varieties of people.
