Why are pensioners called old aged pensioners?

Is it to differentiate them from young aged pensioners?

I presume to differentiate them from people receiving a pension from a workplace at a younger age.

Why do pensioners go shopping at the weekend when they have 5 other days which would be far less crowded for them

Because it used to be considered an old age when pensions first appeared. Life expectancy was somewhat lower back then.

2 questions.
I was carrying a standard eg 175ml of wine in the kitchen but dropped it.
A) how does 175 ml miraculously change into at least 700ml ??
B) how can one glass be made up of at least one million fragments ? (I am still picking pieces up)

A) The 175ml of wine would have spilled when it was dropped, so the liquid would have spread and filled a larger area than the original container. This is why it might seem like more than 700ml. B) When a glass shatters, it can create many small fragments that could easily add up to one million. It is also possible that some of the fragments may be too small to see.

Remember a pension is just a term for a sum of money to be paid to a beneficiary who achieves a certain predefined status.
There are different types of pension.
War pension for soldiers
Widow pension for ladies
Private pension schemes that draw down early. For instance my dad retired on a full pension from the police at 49.
So an old age pension is a pension paid when you reach the qualifying age. At that point you might also receive other small discounts for entry to museums etc.

Why do pensioners who probably moaned all their working lives about having to get up early for work still get up early, even though they don't have to now? 🤔

It's simply a sad revelation of the state of education today.

Some people simply aren't good with spelling due to dyslexia , poor attendance at school or were having a bad time of it at the age where most of us hardwire our writing skills. The reasons are legion.
Or I could just channel the Fail and witter on about modern day ..... yawn zzzz.
