- They get to eat as much cake as they like.
- They always know better.
- Incredibly cosy and sleep inducing homes.
- Never have fiver? They've got 'em all
- No fear of death. You know Joyce down the road? she died last week. As natural as if Joyce had nipped to the supermarket rather than the afterlife.
- Political Correctness. A new fangled concept to be ignored.
- Going to the hairdressers just to get their 'hair set'. The original WAGS.
- No more struggling to get up. OAP's are always up by 6.
- Elasticated waistbands.
- Stanna Stairlifts. Everyone secretly wants a go.
- Free travel.
- Who needs karaoke when you can have an impromptu sing-a-long whenever you like?
- You sit in the comfiest chair while everyone else clears up.
- They survived a war. Enough said.
- 'Having your own look'. If you want to wear a shirt and tie everyday, you can.
- Elastic waist bands.
- Walking sticks. A weapon cunningly disguised as a walking aid
- Being Beyond the Law. The street you not suppose to go down? The 'Do Not Touch Sign? Doesn't apply to you.
- That special small bread.
- Someone boring you? feign deafness.
- Everyone boring you? just doze off.
- Blue hair dye. Scowled at on teenagers, swept under the cupboard with old people.
Sometime, about a year ago, I suddenly started hating the tube. 2 minutes at a signal and I am freaking out.
To take my mind off things I begun writing lists, each inspired by my journey on the underground.
