Do you bank online?I manage all my finances online. Not only is it more convenient it is also saver. I get an instant on my phone every time I spend any value using my debit card and have set my account to notify me (phone message) of any spend over £30 on my credit cards. I always know how much money is on any of my accounts and should the worst happen would know immediately if any of my cards were used fraudulently. So glad the days do waiting’s for statements to arrive in the post are over and life is far too short to spend in a queue or on the phone.ViewDate:

Should there be an upper age limit to be a US Presidential candidate?There is no “current” retirement age. Employers cannot force anyone to retire. The only set age is the age at which one can claim the UK State pension which has recently gone up to 66 and will gradually increase to 67 from 2026 and then to 68 from 2044.ViewDate:

Are you inclined to take up the Government's offer - 'Eat Out To Help Out'?I have always enjoyed eating out and was very happy when restaurants were allowed to re-open. Getting money of the bill is a most welcome bonus!ViewDate:

How often do you wash your bed sheets?I love the smell and feel of freshly washed bed linen, so once a week.ViewDate:

TRAVELING SOLO AND LOOKING FOR A COMPANION?I’ve not used this site for some time so did not see your post in time. I went to Sicily 12-19th October and really enjoyed it. Hope you found someone to travel with you and had a good time there.ViewDate:

Are you more likely to buy a Marathon than a Snickers bar?My point exactly! Snickers DOES NOT sound like Sneakers as the two words are pronounced quite differently!ViewDate:

Are you more likely to buy a Marathon than a Snickers bar?You are thinking Sneakers ... Pronounced quite different to SnickersViewDate:

Are you more likely to buy a Marathon than a Snickers bar?Why would you even have a preference? What is wrong with you all? Same ingredients, same taste, same size and price. So the logic applied to humans is ... is his or her name is X i would definitely prefer (like) him or her more than if his or her name was Y. Get yourself a life will you!ViewDate:

TRAVELING SOLO AND LOOKING FOR A COMPANION?Hi PugLover75. I am off to Palermo for a week in October flying out from Luton so not exactly looking for a travelling companion, but would love to have some company whilst exploring the city and surrounding area whilst there.ViewDate:

From Newby and looking forward to finding new friendshipsHi LynneJ6. I too am in Northamptonshire, although neither retired nor married. Hope you find Silversurfers entertaining. It‘s a little clunky and nothing much happens but then it can only get better I guess.ViewDate:

Would you buy your supermarket produce loose, out of packaging?Waitrose are not the first chain to do this. Whole Foods Market in the US have done this for years! They now also have a couple of stores in London but have not seen a store elsewhere in the UKViewDate:

l'm totally lost here in how to chat !!The word „Chat“ is used in a very ambiguous way on this website. There is no instant messenger which most people would look for when seeing chat. I find the whole website rather clunky.ViewDate:

Would you like to star in 'Silver Love Island'?£50k to live in a „goldfish bowl“ for eight weeks. No, thank you! I do not like to be told what to do and sharing a bed with some random bloke....ViewDate:

Will you be voting in the European Elections this month?I happen to be one of these citizens from other EU counties, living and working here in the UK and feel I should give you some feed-back 1. Not at anytime did I assume that „it would all be automatic“. 2. The EU settlement scheme application is straightforward... there is even an App for it don’t you know. 3. All EU citizens living in the UK were able to choose to vote in the European elections here or in their home country. I chose to vote here. 4. Last but not least: Am I concerned that the Brexit Party won most seats? ... Not in the least.ViewDate:

What are your favourite travel destinations and why?I went to Northern India for three weeks last October and would agree that it is an experience but I preferred Thailand.ViewDate:

TRAVELING SOLO AND LOOKING FOR A COMPANION?Hi Vic. Your post shows your frustration but reality is „looking for a travel companion“ does not equal „looking for anyone and everyone“ nor does it mean that we don’t travel. I am quite happy travelling by myself and have most recently been for a long weekend in Paris and prior to that a three week guided tour of India.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Thank you! I am quite used to going solo but it would be nice to have someone to go with. I am not a „roast yourself on the beach“ kind of person and prefer City Breaks and multi center holidays further afield.ViewDate:

How are you finding your iPad?I have two and love them! So much quicker to access information than using a laptop or pc and the mini one is great for putting in my hand luggage. A tip for charging your iPad quickly: Go to settings and put it into „Airplane Mode“ before switching it off and plugging it in.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hello everyone I typed „Travel Companion“ into the Google search box and Silversurfers.com came up as one of the results. As the age demographic is perfect for me I thought I might as well join despite there being no nearby users looking for someone to travel with. Looking forward to the pleasant surprises the site and it‘s community has in store for meViewDate:
