Winter fuel payment
« on: 28 June 2017, 17:42:29 »

I rang up on Monday to claim mine for this year, I wasn't sure about the timescale but I am old enough. Got through to a young chap in Newcastle, and I've never been treated like this on the phone before. He spoke really s l o w l y and repeated every answer back to me. Asked me if I had any idea what my national insurance number was...erm...yes..I have. Then, towards the end...are you married? Yes. And can you remember the date you got married? I was waiting for him to say 'take your time'.
I got right into it and the end and said 'Thanks for being so kind, son' and he was chuffed.  ;D

Now....how can I convince the wife that I'm old and infirm so she doesn't make me do.....'things'.  ::)

Mind you don't "have a fall" when you go out - make sure that nursey is with you.  ::)

After I'd finished speaking with him, Ron, I went for a quick three mile walk with the dog.  ;D

The £200 I get will buy me some fuel and a pair of thermal long johns. In Barnsley, we put them on in November and take them off again in April.

Ahem, at your age and degree of incontinence, do you really need a pot?

Ron. (Sorry!)

If the public pay sector cap is 'softened' we may be able to afford a proper toilet, Ron.

There's been talk of tax increases today from my MP Oliver Letwin.  :)

Unless there's another election imminently I don't think he'll be standing again, so I guess he can say what he wants!  ;D

Oliver who? That silly little twerp pops his head up now and again, but is usually slapped down and then sulks for a couple of years.
