very wealthy ex pil moving to seven oaks gloating about free unlimited travel

[concernedgfuk]

My ex pils have just moved to seven oaks. They are very wealthy (partner of doctors s) and a big reason was so that they will get unlimited London travel for the rest of their lives. This amounts to almost 10k a year.

I'm pissed as they've never paid London council tax and could easily afford the travel cost and for me it's a huge expense I need to pay to work. I just wish they would stop going on bout it. Very unthoughtful and they are just out to get free stuff regardless of if they need / deserve it.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear they are pleased to be your ex pil. I don't see how the expense of your transport is at all relevant to their situation.

Well OP if they really are gloating as you say, they will be very disappointed to find they are not eligible for the Freedom Passes.

That will bring a smile to your nasty, jealous face won't it?

concernedgf arent you the same one who started a thread on 'deep throat'?
I know we are not supposed to troll hunt but .......some of them are just so blatant!

£5,000 each vlue of a bus pass

Man they're planning to do a lot of bus trips.

AT £1.50 per oyster fare bus trip thats 3333.33 bus trips a year or 64 a week.

Wow op You have a Lot on your mind what with the bus pass issue and your boyfriend deepthroating you. Tricky times love.

I always thought Sevenoaks was one word

Oh Sevenoaks. I genuinely didn't recognise it as two words.

And what's with the They are very wealthy (partner of doctors s) I sense a juicy back-story. Medical spouse-swapping?

ah but kew let's not forget about train travel too.... all those train trips from sevenoaks...... oh wait..... sevenoaks isn't covered!!!!!!

Fwiw I live in orpington and mainline train travel into London is covered as well as we're considered zone 6.

I assumed business partners?

I prefer the idea of medical spouse-swapping though.

They won't be able to travel at peak times. Even I knew Sevenoaks was one word. Honestly, find something else to be annoyed about.

You wouldn't say 'partner OF doctor' if it was a doctor who was also a partner, would you.

I suspect hope the deepthroat intersects with the story somewhere. All very worrying

Deepthroat in Sevenoaks?! Darling, please!!

actually a london freedom pass does cover all bus and underground travel, just not peak mainline travel. but given they're not eligible this is pointless. .. ....

Sevenoaks is in Kent, my DM lives there. They'll get free bus travel within Kent, so if they want to spend between one and three hours on a bus they can go to Bluewater or Margate or Bromley. Most of the over sixties just use it for popping to the shops though, hardly gadding about, but there's no free train travel.

So you are annoyed because they get free travel in Kent, and think they shouldn't because they are well off? Yabu

What? It would be so tempting. All those boxes of tongue depressors lying around.

Cos I is quite well informed (thank eee very kindly) I woz not assuming that they woz using any train travel in London.

To be fair having read the Kent Country Council website you can also use it on the Gravesend to Tilbury ferry which off peak costs £3 so they could actually rack up £5,000 with say 500 ferry crossings a year say 10 a week with a two week holiday which after all is only 5 return journeys a week. Which would then only require them to spend £3,500 which is only 2333.33 journeys a year each or 46.66 journeys per week (allowing again this time for a two week holiday) thats only 23.33 return journeys per week or 3.33 return bus journeys a day. [Overinvested emoticon]

Well it's one way to fill your retirement...

Mind you they'd have to factor in the cost of petrol from Sevenoaks to Gravesend - should I factor that in [worried] then they'd have to do even more bus trips to make their pass worth £5,000 but technically it would be more accurate.

There were actually Seven oaks but 6 of them blew down in the hurricane/wind of 1987, seven were replaced (bizarre) so now there are Eight Oaks.

Or they could stay home and get jiggy. Which is much cheaper.

A gov't campaign is needed.

Is that what you're hoping for OP?

Come back and tell us.

Pensioners can get free bus travel all over the place. It's bloody disgraceful

My Dad has met several girlfriends through his long bloody tedious bus trips. It's a market waiting to be developed - on-bus dating for the over 65's

I see no-one is begging me to expand my financial analysis to off-set the cost of the petrol You lot don't deserve me.

My very wealthy ex PIL's ex partner's doctor's partner has moved to New Castle. They can't stop bragging about all the cheap stotty cakes they're guzzling. I'm pissed. AIBU?

Sevenoaks is very pretty but def in Kent.

The op is confused. Perhaps her outrage affects her geographical knowledge?
When my PIL pisses me off I forget how to do complex multiplication.

Do we think that these are real Ex PIL's who have genuinely moved to Sevenoaks who are just mindfucking playing with the OP because they really can't stand her as she disapproved of their swinging lifestyle?
