Now I'm a new and at the same elderly member of this great British Establishment but I had a distressing experience a couple of days ago which I felt that I just must share.
Now I popped into my local public house for a breakfast which including a steaming cup of tea. Nothing like a nice steaming cup of tea in the morning. Anyway I digress. After paying for said cup of tea I was carrying it to my table when I heard a shout of 'Watch out!'. I looked around baffled, I mean this is a nice establishment one doesn't expect to hear people shouting. It was then that I saw a small child toddling around on the floor infront of me. I realised that the dreadful shouting was coming from a young woman standing nearby presumbably this child's mother. We had what I felt was a reasonably civilised conversation and I went to my table.
Then what do I hear behind me but 'clomp, clomp, clomp'. She was following me readers! I quickened my step and put my head down. I mean this is a nice establishment you just don't expect this sort of thing here!
Am I being unreasonable to think that this young lady was extremely rude and needs to learn to respect her elders! Toodle pip for now. Yours shaken but not stirred.
