I wasn't aware that there was a pension increase when you reach 80, so I was delighted to receive a letter telling me I will soon qualify for it.

Thanks to Edward Heath in 1971 I'll have an extra 25p to spend every week.. :-D

25p = a Cadbury's chocolate 'Freddo' bar lol.

Or perhaps save it up for a couple of weeks and buy a pint of milk.

Happy Birthday!
