What can we do to curb these ferral pensioners?

I never correct spelling, emmie, my own fingers are far too fat to point them at others.

[emmie]

not sure i really believe that, but leave that for now...
pensioners get a bad press, and women especially, don't honestly know why.

[DaisyNonna]

And here I was thinking that people were individuals, not to be compartmentalised by age or gender.

[jno]

sigh...

[emmie]

see, i am not the only one....

There is a lot to be said about those who are older, respectful and dignified, rather that the Jezza Kyle types - acne peppered, unkempt, illiterate, drug riddled yobs who feel society treats them harshly. The blokes are almost as bad too.

[mazie]

There's good and bad in both young and old....Age is not the issue.

[friedgreentomato]

Its when they walk out in front of cars as if every car has a granny stop mechanism built in!!

[sir.prize]

Age is certainly the issue according to the OP.

[emmie]

many people walk out in front of cars, they have a death wish i am sure. I have seen two accidents recently, both pedestrian versus bus, one bloke was lucky to escape with his life...

[friedgreentomato]

lol Em we used to tell my nana off for it and her reply was always don't they know I fought in the war and they should stop for me!!!

"There is a lot to be said about those who are older, respectful and dignified"

yes....there is a lot to be said.....dull dull, boring and dull.

[sir.prize]

^^^^^^ is that an acne peppered, unkempt, illiterate, drug riddled yob commenting?

[emmie]

the bus hit the bloke, he was at fault having run out into the road, not looking, how you can't see a fluffing great red vehicle hurtling down the road is beyond me. He was hurt, but i don't think seriously, he was however very very lucky.

[woofgang]

"^^^^^^ is that an acne peppered, unkempt, illiterate, drug riddled yob commenting? "

Nope, neither am I respectful or dignified....who should I be respecting btw?

[sir.prize]

Self respect always comes first.

[woofgang]

nuh, self belief comes first.

[emmie]

no it doesn't, if you have no self respect how can you have self belief...

[janbee]

Don't mess with the "silver brigade". We're a tough bunch !!
