Have the pensioners been forgotten?

Dear Editor,

It is good to see the public servants being remembered with a gift of cash this Christmas.

What about the pensioners, will we be forgotten? Should auld acquaintance be forgot/And never brought to mind?

So, for the sake of auld lang syne, in the style of the traditional Christmas nursery rhyme I say:

Christmas is coming

The goose is getting fat

Please put something good in the old ones’ hats

You took away our subsidies

And now we feel the pinch

Oh please, oh please

Don’t be a Grinch

Yours faithfully,

Joan Collins
