Stuff for free (or discounts)

OldGoat

So when you reach the pension age suddenly there are lots of little treats available to you. Free public transport is (currently) one. I believe the TV license might be another. Woodies, the hardware outlet used to give a 10% discount to seniors on Thursdays - probably sitll does.

What other freebies are there out there that oldies can take advantage off?
Links would be wonderful if you can include them.

I know this isn't exactly free as in the annual application fee, but for 10 euros per year, you can get free access to gyms, pools and activities. Plus you get a discount book with vouchers and special offers.
