Come on Neil, don’t be too hard on an old woman.
The old people are prone to being conned. Don’t forget that they were brought up in an era when you could go on holiday without locking your house doors confident that no one would rob you. People left their milk money in the bottle outside their front door and no one nicked it. People would do the same when the coalman was due and leave the money in the coal shed. People would go to work and leave the house unlocked so that the kids could get in after school. It was an era of trust and those lessons are hard to forget.
