Good grief, kat 1! What are you on??? I am a pensioner and to be honest, I do take offense when younger people think that people who are of retirement age suddenly have nothing to do but sit around or ... go shopping at times that are 'incomvenient' for the rest of the population!! I may be retired, but my daily routine involves being a full time carer for my 95 yr old mum who is no longer mobile and has dementia; looking after three Irish Wolfhounds and a little Shih-Tzu who are BARF fed which takes some time; doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry etc at home; driving my lovely man to and from work every day; doing the shopping;doing volunteer work in a residential home and in addition doing a few hours of administrative work for the office there as well! And you think we pensioners have time to consider when you would like us to be out of the way, so you can do your shopping??? You must be kidding me!!!! What on earth makes you think you are so special that others should have to plan their busy lives to suit you??? Time you showed a little more respect for an age group you will join some day!!
