I resent being called a prat, but I will forgive you because I can see you mistakenly thought I was insulting the D-Day vet's - which I certainly did not intend to do.
My point stands, but I will re-word it in an attempt to avoid further upset . . . . .
"Some of the gentlemen (and possibly ladies?) who fought so bravely for us in the 2nd WW, including the event we know as D-Day, are in a stronger financial postion than I am"
(My use of the word "some" indicates that not all will fall into this group)
