[Margaret Pilkington]

I think some old folk work at being cantankerous. My hubby helps an old couple who have no living relatives........I used to help out too, but I gave up going because of the barbed comments from the old lady.
Hubby says she is lonely........I said 'well if she was a nicer person perhaps more folk would visit'.
Hubby does shopping for them and runs them to the docs and they never thank him for it.
They think that because he is retired he has nothing better to do.
