So organised Gus. I remember when the kids were small, always asking for specialist stationary. I used to say "what d'you think this is, W H Smith?" Just sick of fighting with a roll of sellotape whilst trying to wrap Christmas presents etc

People who assume because you are a bit deaf you are also daft.

People who bad mouth those who are 'portly'... Is it "bad mouthing" or concern for their health?

Such public spiritedness. If somebody calls me fatty, they are concerned about my health. Got you.

People who call me 'babe' or 'hun' - this may occur disproportionately because I live in Essex

Being called "Boss" or "My Friend" riles me no end. Or when people use my name all the time: it feels as though they're trying to get control over me.

Why is it I have to shout/repeat/repeat everything for my mother (92) but when I say something on the quiet about her to my brother, she hears every word?
