Pensions and biscuits

BET you’re thinking to yourselves… what has a packet of biscuits got to do with pensions?

On Saturday at the weekly protest re pension injustice at the ‘Wall by the wall’ (Tesco roundabout) a young man stopped his van, beckoned to one of us to go over to him and he gave us this packet of biscuits.

Wasn’t that a lovely thing to do? You see, you never quite know what the day will bring…
