Sounds like another 'Jitterbug' to me....

I heard this news article on wireless the other day and was impressed with the logic that a government spokes person gave as to the reasons, he says "we believe that those people with out access to the internet are missing out on great bargains that can be had on-line". I laugh so much I almost crashed my motor.

Can anyone think of what sort of bargains oap's are missing out on, suggestions please.

I did a search on the web and discovered that cabbage that one can boil for 3 weeks is not offered at a discount if purchased on-line, neither are wurthers original mints

Viagra!

Slippers

Here in the States, seniors can get a 10% discount off their grocery bill at Kroger on the first Wednesday of every month...

^ really!!!, what if they go on-line, do they get more of a discount?

Nah... to my knowledge, they don't do online delivery.

Old people rock!!! They can remember the price of everything from 70 years ago but can't remember how to drive a car!!

You mean, the "horseless carriage"?

Those contraptions will never catch on!
