I'm just going to say a word for the older people l know who aren't at all grumpy and rude. I have lots of friends over 70 who are intelligent, vital, and full of fun, and like the rest of us only get grouchy when faced with something worth it- such as telephone cold sellers phoning in the middle of your tea etc.

I think as you get nearer those Pearly Gates, some older people must decide it's not worth being pleasant, and they are the ones in the minority we have mentioned on here.

Fireman, you seem unlucky in having a grouchy elderly in- law, perhaps now the weather's getting better if you unshackle her and tether her in the garden, the sunshine might reflect in her temperament?
