© SmartCard Networking Forum Trust me, I know what I’m doing ! Of course you’ll need to use Council Tax data for other things! Privacy and Data Protection Act 2007 Let’s join up all our data entries Let’s not put this conviction data into the system just yet – let’s file it in a box- for a few months. Don’t use CTax data for other purposes Of course we’ve thought this through Who needs Iris scans anyway? We never wanted a great big new database What data standards?

It has deliberately designed and promoted a store to attract older people:  With magnifying glasses hanging in wide aisles to help with the small print on labels and with outsize labels,  With rest areas, massage chairs, and shopping trolleys that can be used as seats,  As a meeting place with sofas. This is the shape of things to come! At least it is on a personal basis.

Kaisers realised that 1 in 3 Germans will be over 50 by But we have already arrived!  Current percentages of over 50’s  32.8% across the UK  42.8% on the Isle of Wight (top of the bill!)  This is set to increase by 30% by 2025  Giving us 44% overall!  maybe over 50% in the good old IoW!  Its only a matter of time for today’s designers (32 years old now…!)
