    An average five year old car, nothing fancy, is about twice as much as my first house in 1979!

    I just remembered another one. I was looking in a shop window and noticed some old twát staring at me through the glass. My immediate thought was "what are you staring at pal?" when it suddenly dawned on me that I was staring at the reflection of myself.

    When you can’t stand safely on one foot to put the other in your pants - leaning against the wall is the solution.
    When you’re sitting down to put your socks on and it’s very hard to reach your feet (even sitting down!)

    The sun has come out today, and I immediately think that I can put the washing on the line instead of using the rack inside.

    Today! I ordered a repeat prescription on Monday and intended to pick it up at the pharmacy tomorrow. This lunchtime a van turned up outside my door to deliver my prescription, a service usually only available to the elderly or those who can't get out and about. I don't have mobility problems which means I'm an old codger (I do get free prescriptions on age grounds)!

    Hah, a scene out of Series 2 of Auf Wiedersehen Pet (have you seen it?).

    Local old boy, retired Major must be, challenges Barry "You're sitting on my stool! Look, there's my drink on the bar. I've only been to the toilet". Oz steps in "Ah, yer mean this is your stool?" suggesting he tucked it under his arm at home and brought it with him. Funny scene, but only one of very many in all five series of a brilliant comedy drama.
