Rushed out at lunch today to do way more things than I had time for. I made it back just in time with no thanks to half the Octogenarians out there.
First were the two in Starbucks. All I wanted was to grab a coffee and get out of there but it was not to be so. They dithered and chatted away to the assistant about nothing in particular as I frantically attempted to highlight the fact I was in a rush.
Then it was the toddler who insisted in holding both his grandparents hands, resulting in the takeover of the whole pavement. 30 people trying to squeeze through that bottle neck at once was quite a picture.
And finally I had to shove through the entire British population of the Blue Rinse Brigade, merrily cooing over a newborn, to get into the office.
Yes, I understand older generations can afford to go at a slower pace, but what about all us young people with places to go, people to see and deadlines to meet?!
