McGrath - use of the term "older people" might have been because the age for becoming an OAP in receipt of state pension in the UK has become a moveable feast (particularly for women, as the age is currently being revised upwards to equalise with men)? I suspect it refers to people who have reached their 60th birthday and who can currently get free bus travel without being registered as disabled, and go to U3A (University of the 3rd Age).

Eddie - all best wishes for next year's full of life!
