Pete,
Below is what I got out of the "American Heritage Dictionary", but it doesn't make sense to me
in the context of the work "pensioner". I know some words vary between the US and the UK.
Q: What's a "pensioner"?
[pen·sion·er 1. One who receives a pension. 2. One who is dependent on the bounty of another.
3. Obsolete. a. A gentleman-at-arms. b. An attendant; a retainer.]

Thanks, Steve

Not quite.
In the British and Australian sense of the word it generally refers to
an old age pensioner, sometimes shortened to OAP in the UK.
A pension is some form of regular payment by the government; generally
to compensate for infirmity or age. People of all ages can be on some
form of pension, but the term "pensioner" is almost invariably used for
the age pension - roughly equivalent to Social Security.
Of course, the brits are poorer drivers, so they score more points for
pensioners :-)

I wonder what the difference in the accident rate per capita is between Oz
and GB Al? I mean we've got around 25 million cars over here IIRC, which is
probably more than in 10 Australia's, in a place 10 times smaller. If you
had just ONE crash in the whole of Aus, it's still make you worse driveres
than us :-))))

here - surpassed only by the US per capita I believe.
