THERE are many arguments going back and forth all the time, about discrimination against this and discrimination against that.

However, I have yet to hear any argument or discussion about the fact that the whole of society and business discriminates against the majority of OAPs and the less well off.

To state categorically, the majority' may be a misnomer, but that is how it appears to me.

My wife and I survive on our pensions, as do thousands of others, but we don't have any spare cash for such things as computers and mobile phones. But if you read papers, both daily nationals and locals (such as the Daily Echo), magazines, circulars and pamphlets, everything is orientated to the ownership of both.

The Daily Echo informs us that more letters can be found on www.etc or they can be sent by e-mail.

Radio programmes tell us to send in answers by e-mail or go to their web page at www.etc. Some phone-in radio programmes require an e-mail or text to ask for a choice of music (even competitions on bean tins require that you e-mail your answer).

I'm aware that computer cafés and libraries have Internet access for the public, but it's not worthwhile travelling miles to request a music choice or get into line with an answer to a competition.

It seems that no one considers us.
