IN last week's Editor-at-Large column in The Crow you made reference to the possibility of your being challenged as to whether you were old enough for a bus pass, as you are someone who is not balding and hardly has a grey hair.
As the holder of a bus pass who is both balding and in possession of much greying hair, I took exception to the characterisation of who is old.
Like fine wines, ageing brings maturity and improvement, and now armed with a bus pass, the opportunity to travel the country and enjoy our second youth.
The Editor-at-Large should check his mirror and ask himself does he really think the bus driver will challenge his age. The driver is more likely to ask a younger passenger to give up his seat for the poor old gent who has just staggered on to the bus.

Editor-at-Large: The thought of taking buses all the way to Land's End is not so much a challenge, but an endurance test I do not think I will be undertaking.
