Usually, pensioners just flash their pension book (now a pink card which
says you're entitled to pension since pensions started being paid directly
into bank accounts). For some reason DH doesn't have the card - must ring
the Department of Work and Pensions and ask for one - so he flashes his bus
pass. Men qualify for a pension at 65, but get a bus pass at 60 since the EU
decided that men and women had to be treated equally in this respect. So
it's usually over 60s who get concessions.
Don't know if these concessions are restricted to the British living here,
but you must have some UK documents with your birth date on just to be sure.
In any case, as you only look 20, you'll certainly be asked for proof of age
to get a concession:-)

Having just filled out my application for my British pension, have been
dragging my feet for over a year on this, :-), I guess DH and I qualify
for the discounts for seniors. Do we need to have proof of any kind to
get the discounts at museums, etc?
