I have just had a letter passed on to me from the Mayor’s Office. It is from an 82-year-old pensioner living on £130 per week. He is asking if there is any dry-cleaning firm in the city prepared to offer a discount of 10 or 20% to anyone in his position.
This seems like a good idea and a pensioner could show a bus pass to confirm his or her age. Should any shop take up this proposal I would be glad to pass on the information to the man concerned and it might even be good for business.
