    How rude 😲 we had an elderly lady in Morrison’s a week or so ago. Long queue down the aisle which then splits between 2 at the tills. She went and stood behind one of the tills oblivious to the long queue. The lady in front of me just shrugged her shoulders and said it’s not worth upsetting her - she only had a couple of things. I do wonder sometimes if it’s genuine confusion or a case of cracking daft in the hope to get away with queuing......Wasn’t worth the upset though of showing her the queue.
    Hope you get the roof sorted ok without having to pay for scaffolding.

    We had a hipped roof at our old house and we did eventually find someone willing to go up and do some minor works up there for us without having to put scaffold up. The cost of the scaffold would have far outweighed the cost of the minor roofing repairs we had done!

    Old people are the worst in shops!!

    I had an elderly woman plonk herself next to me on the seat at the bus stop earlier this week. I way moved up away from her at which point she said "it's alright" as though I was just giving her more space.
