I remember(in my youf) seeing little old men, bowed over, in long grey coats, wandering around the town centre looking in the gutters for 'fag ends'.
They probably weren't old(worn out early by working in the mines or mills) but they looked it.The good old days?
They all had one thing in common- a big 'dewdrop' on the end of their noses. It was that I noticed most.
Now, in my old age, I have the same problem as MargaretR has and they had- a permanently runny nose.
I haven't got a cold, it's just like a dogs nose- wet!
Funnily enough sitting down for a hot meal really sets it off?
So I always have a hanky handy and yes I go through a few. Don't want a pocket full of soggy tissues.
The joys of getting old- I'm thinking of buying a long grey coat but I'll draw the line at old 'fag ends'.
