Re: Has It Happened To You?

No Mez.....not quite, but something very similar. Struck up a conversation with a couple in Home and Bargain today.....during the conversation I looked at the male of the couple and thought he looked vaguely familiar. I said to him 'Did you work at so and so's during the early sixties'....'Yes' he says looking a bit quizzical and surprised......I said to him 'Is your name *******'
'Yes' he said......... looking perplexed now. And then he asked if he should know me.....I told him that he used to take me out. Well, he was gob struck......so either I have aged terribly or he has a bad memory.
Anyway after we left this couple I looked back and he was walking with a stick......hubby says he must have had a bad paper round.....uphill both ways, two bags and no bike. (that's his phrase for 'not wearing well')
