This just reminded me of an amusing incident some years ago in Asda when a little old lady was complaining to anyone who would listen that some people use the "baskets only aisle" when they've got a trolley and more than six items. She repeatedly told people in the queue that she had only 5 things in her basket. She then began to COUNT the contents of the basket of the man in front of her! She came up with 9 but she'd counted a six pack of coke cans as six individual items. He got rather annoyed with her and told her to mind her own business to which she replied. "Wait till you're as old as I am. I'm seventy three you know!" and he responded "I am older than you, you daft old bat. I'm eighty one!"
