I have been a regular visitor to the local pharmacy for some time and have got to know the girls quite well, one of them being especially friendly.
For the record, there are eight different drugs in the cupboard supplied to me under prescription; thanks heavens for the NHS!
Anyway, it was a damp, drizzly day with a very cold north-east wind blowing when I called to collect a new prescription on Friday. As I left, the young assistant (probably aged about 30, although I am very bad at guessing the age of young ladies) said to me, "Now you wrap up warm". I know she meant it kindly, but it is only today that it has dawned on me how this is something the young say to the elderly!
Oh dear, the only time I think about being a senior is when I take advantage of the senior discounts, and then I count my blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhen sop assistants started calling me Madam - that's when I started to feel my age. Madam still feels like they must be talking to someone else ...
