The fact that you can get down onto wet grass - and more importantly get up again, without the help of a JCB, gives lie to what you said.

I think you are right though, it is generational. Though to be fair, there have been some old folk that have been incredibly rude.
I have had my ankle barked with those wheeled shoppers more time than I care to count - and not always by grumpy women. Men have started using them too.
I will consider myself old when I resort to using a sholley. Please Lord....Never!
