| Annotation | The Big Issue is best known for giving homeless people a voice. This special grey edition of the magazine has been guest-edited by members of the National Pensioners' Convention (NPC). Far from fading into the background, the pensioners featured are living life to the full. Cover star, jazz musician George Melly, explains why he has no intention of retiring gracefully. Other articles consider what life will be like in 2050, the sex lives of over 60s, adventurous sports activities, and whether the pensions system is in crisis. News and comment include reports on an investigation of doorstep salesmen, deaths caused by bed rails in care homes, moves by MPs to tackle ageism, and Claire Rayner on paying for care. (RH). |
