My dear GorBlimey
Back in my "Pre-Arthritis" days I used this word when speaking to an old chap.
His response was words to the effect "You do realise I only have one and mentioning it in plural brings back awful memories". My response was on the lines of "I have never seen you in the showers" which I now believe was rather insensitive.

People who don’t hold the door open when you’re following them.
Or open it a tiny bit to slide through totalling ******* you.

Arseholes.

People who, when you are standing aside to allow a woman pushing a pram to enter a shop, barge past both of you.

Things that have rechargeable batteries in not holding a charge.

(And they are both new(ish))

People who don't realise how privileged they are.

:p

This new(ish) marketing tactic of sending you advertising in envelopes with what appears to be hand written addresses on, and contains paperwork again in what appears almost child like hand written notes.

Upon closer inspection it is apparently some kind of computer font made to look like real casual hand writing.

The final give away was when my wife and I both received the same "advert" in separate letters. You don't have to be a Forensic handwriting expert to see they are the same.

I think that kind of marketing con is aimed at pensioners.

Well it was an ad for hearing aids, so I guess that is a fair assumption in this case.

The other trick is to send ads in a brown official looking envelope with seals or eagles on them to look like they are from a government agency.

Restaurants that empty the shelves of certain items in Aldi. Kills me that.

My dearest Hedgehog
Pleased to report that my good self being a "Pensioner" (In 80s) has not been duped by any marketing strategy and whilst my mobility is far from good, up to now my "Hearing" is not a problem (Surprising given my age), so I am not in need of any "Hearing aids".This could of course change quite soon seeing as my good self is in my eighties.My friend has used an ITE for several years. "DONT GET OLD".

Cannot type much more, "Arthritis" in hands.

We all know it is not the hearing but the “reading” which is the problem here old chap :)

Because had you read some of the replies to your good self and taken heed, you would have had more time to deal with them “Arthritis”

Having said that, you did make me laugh the other day

Yeah!

Yeah all that AND the changes to the name Snowdenia and the Brecon beacons.

My dearest Razorsedge
My good self wears "Spectacles".I am pleased that my words caused you to titter. Frankie Howerd "Titter ye not".

Your arthritis just means you can't open the envelopes.

But you still type. That's like someone with toothache continuing to dip into the toffee jar.

I wonder if he has ‘Dentures’ as most octogenarian’s do.

It's amazing what fictional characters can do

Even putting quote marks round the words must be “agony”.

The pain he goes through is inspiring.
