Has anyone here applied for a +60 Oyster Card. It is available to those people who are 60

but do not qualifiy for a Freedom Pass due to the April 2010 dealine.


I have applied but not holding my breath.


They have acknowledged receipt of my ?10.00 admin fee.


TFL have said that my Photograph needs to be approved.


Was wondering how long it might take to come through.

Just fantasising here. . . Aidan Quinn as Carlos The Jackal in 'The Assignment' or the actual Carlos?

Hubby has 60 plus oyster card for about a year now. Well worth the ?10 fee. Since hubby was early (medically) retired he does not get any benefits only a very reduced occupational pension and the Oyster card enables him to keep in touch with friends and extended family - probably saves him around ?40 per month.

Passport arrived today (11 Days) so that's not bad.


Is a new e-passport.


Two pics inside. One is clear ? but very faint. Original was fine.

They haven't used the actual photo I sent. It is embedded into the psge with a hologram over it.


Other pic is really grainy and bearly recognizable. More like a graphic.


I'm sure it would of been checked before being sent out.


Anyone else have a new e-passport. Is yours the same. ??

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
