Will it be thanks from Frank Avenell, Swindon's self-proclaimed Pensioners' Champion, after the 2004 Budget announcement?
It should be, pensioners over 70 will receive an extra £100 from the Government to help with living costs, those over 80 will get a £200 payment, all on top of the winter fuel allowance and other benefits.
Will Frank be happy? Of course not, he will have nothing else to whinge about!
