Christmas Warning

Squads of highly trained Old People have been despatched: Their Tasks:
To Stand In The Narrow Bits at Supermarkets;
To search tirelessly for their purses long after tha last item has been rung up;
To veer slowly and needlessly across crowded and slippery footways;
To park their Hyundais on Blind Corners and;
To drive at 20MPH in case there are Icy Bits.

Their passwords are: "Cold for the time of year, isn't it Ethel?" to which the response is "Nothing like a bit of snow for Christmas, Gladys"

You Have Been Warned!

They also trip you up with their shopping trolleys.

Bah! Mallers beat me to it.

You forgot the huge stack of coupons they have to search through at the checkout.

Hahaha! The other day, one old biddy pushed past me (with quite hefty bodily contact) to get at stuff on the supermarket shelf - NO LESS THAN THREE TIMES! I'm afraid I swore at her. Not a really bad word - season of goodwill and all that.
