christelsabine 1 #8 October 25, 2011 Quote Queen and cronies count as pensioners? Queen Mom and Pop are 80+ - that's not a pensioners' age in the US? And overall, if you just have a closer look: Lillibeth plus daughter repeatedly wear same dresses for new events (opening of a furniture store and such ....) - and the new created princess Cathy really is looking so hungry. If that's not actively save for the country! Singing: *....

This is a term typically used in the United Kingdom and Australia where someone of pensionable age may also be referred to as an 'old age pensioner', or OAP."

Skyrad 0 #20 October 26, 2011 Because they are pensioners, having retired isn't a prerequisite to be counted as an old age pensioner. In the Uk thats 60 for women and 65 for men (I think that its still 60 for women, they may have changed it to 65 too) when you get to that age you are classified as a pensioner regardless of if you are working or not. You get certain privileges such as a free travel pass (I doubt the Queen makes much use of that though) When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
