If OAPs are as impoverished as we are led to believe, and that in a few short months they'll be popping off whilst huddled over a one bar fire in their big furry zip up the middle single boot, how come everytime I go to the M&S Food Hall the place is fit to bursting with them?

For long time I believed that OAPs was a hair style. Because the barber I used to go to had a price list something like this;
Dry Cut 5.50
Wash cut and blow dry 10.50
Cut wash and gel 14.00
African cut 9.00
Facial Massage 15.00
OAPs 4.00
We work on first come first basis,
All prices correct at the time of print

Some OAPs work - I carried on working well past my state pension age, and still work now, albeit from home.
Just as not all 40 years old are driving round in soft top Mercedes, jetting off to the Caribbean several times a year, and lunching at The Vine, not all pensioners are paupers.
Some are, but not the ones who buy their food in M&S.

flip_flop yours must be the only m&s that has this problem.
i hope you can survive and manage on the pittance that the oap's get.
not everyone has savings to fall back on and when the cold weather comes old people feel it more .please remember years ago when people had babies they had to work to feed the extra mouths, no big hand outs from the government in those days

I've heard about oldsters in M&S before. It's quite a common occurrence, apparently. I wouldn't give M&S the time of day, so I'm just going on reports here.
Kitiekebab, I shall almost certainly manage on the 'pittance' that most of them get - because it's be more than I get now, and I'll get rent allowance, free prescriptions and free bus travel too.
And when I'm old, I'll shop in the early morning when it's quieter (Why shop at lunchtime, when it's busy and noisy and everyone moans at you? Why?), I'll say please and thank you to teenagers (because, you know, if you do, they often reciprocate), and I won't expect the world to revolve around me just because I've worked for a living all my adult life.
