A young man approached me in the post office the other day and asked if I would witness his signature on an official document. As I didn’t know him I hesitated (you can’t be too careful these days) but the woman who works there assured me that I didn’t need to know him – just had to watch him sign and then add my name as witness.

So I said I would but while I was watching him sign his name the man said ‘I looked around for an elderly person as an elderly person can be trusted’. I kept quiet. Then he said ‘I have a lot of respect for elderly people and I thought now there’s an elderly person who will help me’. I still held my tongue, but when he mentioned ‘elderly’ AGAIN I said ‘listen duckie, cut out the elderly crap or I’m out of here’.

I don’t need strangers to remind me – the old woman in the mirror does just that!!!!!
